5x Grammy Award-winning artist Karen Clark Sheard has just released her new album, Still Karen. This album is one of her most versatile projects yet, and fans are sure to love the final product. Executive produced by Pharrell Williams and J. Drew Sheard II, this body of music will give fans all of the nostalgic feels of Sheard’s first record, Finally Karen, with songs produced by J. Moss, Mano Hanes, and Anthony Brown with Donald Lawrence as A&R Consultant.
“I wanted to pay homage to her first record when putting this album together…” says, Karew Records label head, J. Drew Sheard II. “Finally Karen was so iconic, so I brought back all of the major players that made record a hit and also added a few new contributors as well.” He continues, “I pray that when people listen to Still Karen, they can be equally blessed by the music and the message. During the creative process it was important to us to create something that shines God’s love to anyone who listens and make it where it’s relatable to everyone. With 14 tracks to choose from, I truly believe there’s a song for everyone.”

“I’m so grateful for the Karew team, everyone at Motown Gospel and all of the producers, writers, contributors, etc we’ve worked with to make this release happen,” says Clark Sheard. “It’s been a while since I’ve released a solo project and I wanted to make sure that it was a special one for the fans. They have been asking for it, and I wanted to make sure that it was not only musically pleasing, but the message would cause someone to grow their faith in God. After listening to the album, if there’s even one person can say that they grew closer to God, overcame adversity or decided to keep trusting God more than before, then it will all be worth it.”
Other notable writers included on Still Karen include Anita Wilson, Charles Jenkins, Kierra Sheard, Marc Jay, and Paul “PDA” Allen. There are up-tempo songs of praise and worship ready for Sunday morning like “Song Of Praise” and “Send It Down”, traditional vintage gospel sounds reminiscent of Aretha Franklin like “Hold On” and “Yes”, songs of intimate worship, classic ballads like “Give It To Jesus” and “Completely Yours”, and urban funky beats like heard in “I Like It”, “Look at Me” and “Almighty God”.
