Six years after her album, “The Shape of Things”, the release of two singles, and a recent 5-week tour in Europe, Sheila Swift has released her much anticipated EP, “The Striving is Over”. The EP presents three original tracks by Swift, written throughout her life.
From the press release:
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.
