Today we are pleased to join forces with Sheri Miller for the premiere of her new single “Born To Love” off her upcoming new album. A tender song that has all the qualities to become an instant classic with its beautiful melodies that walks the thin line between the Country and the greatest pop ballad of the 90s and 00s, very reminiscent of LeAnn Rimes and Leonard Cohen.
About the song, Miller comments “I thought we had a “perfect” vocal after comping, but when the producer asked me to sing one last take, I thought “there’s no way we can use it, I’m too tired.” So I let go, stood there singing effortlessly, easily, naturally, without trying, getting out of my own way, allowing the song to speak, my soul to speak. When I opened my eyes, thinking everyone would say it’s a throwaway vocal, instead they said “that was a Grammy-Award winning performance!” Stunned, I listened back, realizing MAGIC flowed, when I surrendered, letting go of getting an “amazing vocal.” This live vocal became our “final vocal,” and I learned “magic” is better than “perfect.” I trust the magic now.”
Recorded with GRAMMY-winning producer Jeff Bova (Herbie Hancock, Celine Dion), Miller’s new collection is ecstatic and incisive, brimming with joy even as it reckons with struggle and heartache. Miller calls the songs “radical acts of self-love and empowerment,” fueled by raw emotion and explosive energy, and her mesmerizing performances are transcendent to match, her voice shifting from hushed intimacy to soaring grandeur with the ease of Ann Wilson or Brandi Carlile.
