Cheri Maree has struck gold once again with her hit “Keep Our Love Alive.” This song is truly a beautiful and loving tribute to the love of her life. This musical love letter to her loved one is perfect for couples and is a truly heartwarming hit.

The soft hand claps and smooth guitar in the opening set the tone for a romantic evening. Cheri’s declaration to her other half that “you make me feel beautiful/I’m so lucky/I am the luckiest girl in the world” indicates to her fans that her significant other is a loving and attentive person. Cheri is sincere and honest as she expresses her love and appreciation for the love of her life when she tells her partner “can’t believe what we’ve survived…I want to thank you.” You can just hear how happy she and her loved one are and that is absolutely wonderful. It’s completely refreshing to hear a love song that is as genuine and candid as “Keep Our Love Alive.”

One thing I loved about this song was how peaceful and subtle the music is. The music is not overpowering and Cheri does not have to raise her voice to be heard over the music. Every whisper and softly spoken word will catch the ear of her listening audience and they are sure to hang on to her every word. Her fans will love how she tells her loved one that she wants to stay together forever. Such a personal assertion will warm the hearts of her listeners and make them fall head over heels in love with her music.

“Keep Our Love Alive” is an honest and open tribute to a lover who clearly reciprocates Cheri’s affections and makes her feel “beautiful.” While this would be the perfect song to have wafting through your speakers during an intimate setting, it would also be perfect to listen to at the end of a long and trying day. I love this song because of how soothing and peaceful it is, and Cheri’s fans will too. This is one artist who is destined for greatness.

I love to write and have been doing so since the age of eight. Fictional stories have always been a favorite of mine, because it gives me a chance to be creative and to express myself in a multitude of ways. On more than one occasion, a song proved to be the inspiration to several stories I have written. Believe it or not, some of those songs were on soundtracks! That’s mostly what I listen to, aside from hits from the 1950’s up to the 1980’s. I’ve learned that anything can be the inspiration to a story, even a poster from the 1990’s or a DVD cover.

I’ve lived in Upper Marlboro all of my life and spent much of my childhood watching cartoons of all kinds, and listening to my older sister’s cassette tapes. Growing up, I listened to everything Jackson related, Paula Abdul, Elton John, and even the controversial group Milli Vanilli. As a teenager, I continued to listen to old-school hits and that was pretty much all I liked, aside from listening to all of Michael Jackson’s music. To this day, I still love old-school hits. That hasn’t changed.

I own a variety of CDs from artists such as Styx, The BeeGees, Michael Jackson, Queen, The Yellow Submarine Soundtrack, and many others. When a soundtrack comes out, there will always be one specific song from that album that I’ll love. It never fails.

I’ve graduated from Bowie State University in December 2013 with a B.A. degree in English.
