열 여덟의 어린 나이에 R&B/소울 음악계와 가스펠 씬에서 가장 주목 받는 샛별로 급부상하고 있는 키키KIERRA "KIKI" SHEARD의 국내 첫 데뷔 앨범 가스펠 음악계의 살아있는 전설로 추앙 받는 여성 중창단 클라크 시스터즈THE CLARK SISTERS의 일원이었고 1997년 이후로는 솔로 아티스트로도 맹활약을 펼치고 있는 캐런 클라크-쉐어드KAREN CLARK-SHEARD의 딸답게 키키는 뛰어난 가창력을 자랑하고 있다. 이번에 국내에 발표된 [LET GO]앨범은 그간 발표된 1집 [I OWE YOU]와 1.5집 리믹스 앨범 [JUST UNTIL]에서 추출한 베스트 트랙들을 하나로 묶은 세계 시장 발매용 앨범이다. [I OWE YOU]앨범에서 싱글 커트된 'YOU DON’T KNOW'는 각종 라디오 에어플레이 차트를 석권했고, 경쾌한 업 비트 R&B 넘버로 대중성 또한 풍부하다. 두 번째 싱글로 발표되었던 'PRAISE OFFERING' 은 가스펠 풍의 백업 보컬 위를 자유자재로 누비며 폭포수처럼 쏟아 부어 노래하는 그녀에게 절로 압도되는 곡이다. 그러나 이 앨범에서 단연 돋보이는 트랙은 'LET GO'이다. 일본 에어플레이 차트에서 수주 동안 정상을 차지하며 메가 히트를 기록했던 'LET GO'는 절로 어깨를 들썩이게 만드는 비트 플레이와 착착 감기는 후렴구가 절묘한 조화를 이룬 R&B 댄스 넘버로 올 여름 클럽 씬을 뜨겁게 달굴 곡으로 기대된다. .... ....
