Description
The songwriting and singing of Cheryl Bliss have been described by critics as "stimulating, refreshingly different, and completely cool" and feature an eclectic mix of her ethereal, emotive vocals, solid songwriting, and lush, earthy arrangements. Her new album "The Sweet Soul Light" is set for a June 14 release.
Grammy-winning producer Daniel Lanois (U2, Peter Gabriel, Neville Bros.) compares Cheryl's vocal quality to that of singer Julee Cruise (of Blue Velvet fame), whom Lanois says has "possibly the most beautiful ethereal voice ever." Radio personality Madison of KPRI Authentic Rock (102.1 FM San Diego) compares the quality of Cheryl's songwriting to that of Aimee Mann.
The Sweet Soul Light was co-produced by Cheryl and world-renowned guitar player and recording artist Phil Keaggy, mixed by John Paterno (Robbie Williams, Badly Drawn Boy) and mastered by Richard Dodd (Tom Petty, Sheryl Crow). "The Sweet Soul Light" represents a melding of Cheryl's influences, with glimpses of U2, Radiohead, Peter Gabriel, Bjork, and Daniel Lanois. From the pounding drums of "Fast as I Can" to the gorgeous, knotted layers of "Last Chance" to the huge, soaring sound of "Wild Wild World," the album ties together a universal theme-not being afraid to leave behind what's "safe" to reach for what you were born to find. "Obviously, we write out of where we are," Cheryl explains. "I would hope this album is as cathartic for the listener to hear as it was for me to write."
Cheryl has also worked with Grammy-winning producer/engineer Mark Howard (U2, Bob Dylan, Iggy Pop, REM) and bassist Daryl Johnson (Neville Brothers, Meters, Emmy Lou Harris). Her first album "Angels Running After" was nominated for and won several awards including Best Pop Album by the San Diego Music Awards.
Cheryl recently moved to Austin, TX, from southern California. She has played in venues throughout the United States and Great Britain. Her songs have been downloaded over 80,000 times (hitting #1 on the mp3.com charts) and added to over 50 radio station playlists worldwide. Cheryl plays regularly in the Austin area to a devoted and growing fan base. She has enjoyed receiving fan mail from around the world and has garnered critical acclaim.
