August 9, 2013 (Los Angeles, CA) - Six years after her highly praised album, "The
Shape of Things", the release of two singles, and a recent 5-week tour in
Europe, Sheila Swift is ready to release her much anticipated EP, "The
Striving is Over". In this new EP, Sheila proves that she is not just a
one trick pony coming from "Daisy", but a well-rounded, all natural
musical artist.
"The Striving is Over", is Sheila
Swift's most personal album yet. The EP
presents three original tracks by Swift, written throughout her life that have been
long waiting to be released. The musically talented songwriter uncovers herself
in this album, presenting songs inspired during personal life experiences. In
her EP, each track delivers its own uplifting positive message.
This
album holds themes revolving around life. The songs in the album cover themes
such as tension in marital life, letting go of the past and moving forward,
while remembering about the good in life and reconnecting to one's own roots. Sheila Swift proves her artistic creativity by
adding a natural flow in the order of tracks in "The Striving is
Over". Track after track, the three song EP tells a story. From the first
track to the last, the emotional and powerful lyrics, that Sheila's vocals give
life to, depict defining moments for her.
In "Stay", the beautiful, acoustic guitar
solos build while harmonizing with Swift's powerful vocals. There is no doubt
her southern roots are portrayed in this EP. Swift intertwines a touch of arousing
country with rock into both other tracks, "Let Go" and
"Home". It is in both tracks where Swift releases positive and
inspiring messages to her listeners. Lyrics such as, "you got to let it
go", speaking of the past, Sheila encourages moving forward in life.
Sheila depicts fond memories of the south in "Home”, a reminiscence of her
life growing up in the south, Sheila sings, "take me home". Each track with its very own personal touch
and artistic expression, Sheila portrays her love for music and life.
Following
"The Striving is Over", Sheila Swift has more musical endeavors up
her sleeve with a vinyl album release by the end of the year.
Sheila
Swift has evolved into a fully-fledged rock singer, largely leaving behind the
pop-rock leanings of her previous work in favor of a more pure rock sound which
shines through on the new material. Sheila played at the South By Southwest
Music Festival, in Austin, Texas, as well as a showcase at House of Blues Houston
and has finished a 5 week European tour in Germany and the Netherlands, with
guitarist Ben Jarrad, where ecstatic fans described her as a mix of Gwen Stefani
and Neil Young. A multi-talented artist, Sheila also incorporates her passion
for the arts in her music.
