GRAMMY® and Stellar Award-winning artist, actress, entrepreneur, and author Kierra Sheard-Kelly, is set to release a deluxe version of her chart dominating, #1 album KIERRA (Karew Entertainment / RCA Inspiration). Currently available for pre-order on all digital music providers, KIERRA (Deluxe) will feature five new songs including the current radio single “Something Has to Break” (feat. Karen Clark Sheard), which was recorded from the mother-daughter duo’s riveting appearance on the 2020 BET Awards.
The deluxe version is a 20-track musical trove with a blend of Pop, R&B, Hip-Hop, and Gospel sounds, which features the original 15-tracks including the #1 Billboard Gospel single “It Keeps Happening” and “Don’t Judge Me” (feat. Missy Elliott). New songs include “Out of My Mind” (feat. Camper), which is available as an instant grat track with pre-order, “Grace,” “Something Has to Break” (feat. Karen Clark Sheard), and more.

In addition to releasing her chart-topping album, 2020 proved to be a year of many successes for the young mogul. The songstress is currently nominated for two NAACP Image Awards (Outstanding Gospel/Christian Album, KIERRA, and Outstanding Gospel/Christian Song, “Something Has to Break”) and was nominated for Best Gospel Album (KIERRA) at the 63rd GRAMMY® Awards. The dynamic actress portrayed the role of her mother Karen Clark Sheard in the hit Lifetime biopic movie The Clark Sisters: The First Ladies of Gospel, which premiered to 2.7 million total viewers making it Lifetime’s highest-rated movie since 2016.
