Ebony, Jan, 2004

KAREN CLARK SHEARD energized the gospel music scene with her vibrant new recording, THE HEAVENS ARE TELLING (Elektra). With a combination of live and studio tracks, Sheard captures the spirit and passes it along to listeners. Gospel duo Mary Mary joins her on "We Are Not Ashamed," while Missy Elliott is featured on the bouncy "Go Ahead." Sheard's daughter, Kierra, showcases her vocal talent on "You Loved Me" and "Don't Change," two of the six songs recorded live at Sheard's husband's church in Detroit.
