She is the archetype of what is possible for modern creatives. Through touring the world, she built a loyal fan base and has been leading as new artist movement that combines music and tech in innovative ways.
IN SHELITA’S WORDS:
“This song has magic that only music can describe. I poured my whole being and heart into this one. Sometimes you are so in love with someone and it is a divine experience that takes you to a higher place that is hard to put into words, in this song I wanted to write and deliver something that captured that feeling.
I was so excited after I wrote this song that I called up some of my friends and played it for them over the phone and they kept saying that there was something about this song that just took them to a different place. One of those people I called was the person I wrote the song for and let’s just say wedding bells may be ringing soon… ”
The release of this single comes after having amassed over 20 million streams with her last EP, Special, and reaching #24 on Billboard. ‘Religion!’ is available worldwide through all major streaming services.
Listen to ‘Religion!’ from the upcoming debut album ‘Shelita’ available June 21, 2019.
