" Enchanting, magical and melodious describes Heart Shadows, a new Cd by local singer/songwriter, Cherie Lassiter. This talented lady who sings all the vocals and plays 12 string guitar, creates compelling images, i.e., warriors,angels,light and water. She sings about love like noone else does as in "Out of the Blue", "Heart Shadows" and "How You Touched Me." Her "Goddess Chant" and "Flight From Atlantis" are haunting ballads.....
Cherie Lassiter is a strong spirit in the dance of music. Take heart and a listen." Tracy G. Knight
- Spectator Magazine, Raleigh NC
Raleigh, NC based Cherie Lassiter
has released an album of inspiring and enchanting music entitled, Heart Shadows. All songs are composed by Cherie who plays 12 string guitar......Because she comes from the heart, Cherie has one of those magical voices, so that even when she is singing in a foreign language. (which she does in Sois Calme Mon Couer) the listener would still find lots of warm,fuzzy feelings. Hers is the type of voice one can snuggle into and comparisons to Enya and Loreena McKennett are inevitable.... This Cd is not just a collection of good songs, it is a book of magic and self-evident truths." Lee Stone - Inner Change Magazine
" This Cd is a delightful collection of songs that highlight Cherie's angelic voice. The lyrics and melodies blend seamlessly to form an enchanting sound that is rarely heard. The music allows the listener to just slow down from the hectic pace we all share and relax while getting "lost" in the music."
