Karen Clark Sheard is one of the most DYNAMIC vocalists in any genre in any generation. Part of the legendary Clark Sisters, Karen is known for her five octave soprano that is laced with riffs, runs, and trills to die for.
I own both of her solo LP's, "Finally Karen" 1997 (Island Records) and "Second Chance" (Elektra). Both albums are spectacular, but "Finally Karen" is a little more traditional than "Second Chance."
Highlights from "Finally Karen" "Nothing Without You" featuring Evans "Can't Take No More" "Jesus Is A Love Song" "Balm in Gilead" "Holy Thou Art Holy" "The Will of God"
From "Second Chance" "Only Call on Jesus" produced by Missy Elliot with Tweet on background vocals!
"I'll Be Right There" produced by Tim and Bob "Higher Ground" produced by Timbaland "So Good" "Second Chance" "A Secret Place"
If you like vocalist, then Karen is the one for you!! Listen and you just might be changed.

Ok... so Elektra just put out a new Karen album.
It's not too shabby. Half of the album was done live and the other half was done in the studio.
Missy (once again) appears on one of the tracks, but this one ain't as boring as "Higher Ground" off Second Chance. You can actually recognize Missy's part, which she raps. Actually, it's kinda unsettling hearing her sample her own "Work It" into a Gospel song.
Peace out, Andree

You think "Higher Ground" was shabby :o. That was one of my favorites last year. Karen is finally getting some WELL deserved recognition. The Clark Sisters are putting out a reunion album soon too.
"The Heaven's Are Telling" is another excellent project. It follws the same format as her debut "Finally Karen" half live, half studio and it works. My favorite are "Glorious (Make The Praise)," "You Love Me", and "Praise Up"
