notes

In a business of here todays and gone tomorrows, few artists have maintained the consistency of Cheryl Pepsii Riley. Cheryl, who is affectionately called Pepsii by her friends, exploded onto the music scene in 1988 with her debut album, "Me, Myself, and I". This album, produced by the group Full Force, unlike most being released at that time, featured songs filled with positive and encouraging messages. From that album, Cheryl recorded her #1 smash hit, "Thanks For My Child". This song, considered by many women an anthem of hope and courage, catapulted this Brooklyn, New York native to national and international acclaim. And, it is still being requested and getting radio airplay today. Cheryl followed up that project with the heartfelt release of "Chapters", which produced the single, "How Can You Hurt The One You Love", which continued in her vein of social consciousness by addressing domestic violence.
In 1992 Cheryl changed record companies and released the album, "All That". For this venture, as well as the last, Cheryl broadened her artistic involvement by writing and producing most of the songs, including the hit single , "Gimme".
Caught in the politics of the record industry, Pepsii changed faces and reunited with her first love - acting. Her first play "Momma Don't" co-starring Rev, Rance Allen, Lynette Hawkins, and The Clark Sisters, proved that she was not to be pigeon-holed as a one dimensional artist. Amazingly to date, Pepsii has starred in 11 national touring plays, all the while gaining a broader and more diverse audience base as a Singer AND an Actress. She has toured the country on theater stages with the likes of Kirk Franklin, Glenn Jones, David Peaston, Beverley Todd, Adele Givens, David Hollister, Clifton Powell, and Shemar Moore, with whom Pepsii starred in the romantic comedy, "The Fabric of A Man". Cheryl has taken her acting even further and made her film debut in 1999 in the celebrated independent film and winner of a 1999 urban film festival award, " Colorz of Rage". This show stopping performer was also featured in the stage plays "Madea's Class Reunion" and "Madea Goes To Jail". Both written by and co-starring Mr. Tyler Perry. Currently you can see and hear her artistry in the 2005 Blockbuster #1 Hit Movie and Soundtrack, "Diary of A Mad Black Woman". You can also bring Ms. Riley home with you on DVD, Starring in Tyler Perry's "Why Did I Get Married" and Co-Starring in "Madea Goes To Jail". Both Available June 27, 2006.
Now, Cheryl is back again, with the highly anticipated release of her first solo recording in 14 years, "Let Me Be Me". " The most honest recording of my career" she states. Allowing no boundaries or limits, Pepsii says this cd encompasses a little funk, a little jazz, a little rock, a little blues, a little gospel, a little love...all filled to capacity with a LOT of SOUL ! And to anyone who listens, the sincerity of this project is indeed, quite evident. Cheryl wrote all the lyrics and did all the vocals and vocal arrangements. While all the music was done by Houston native Luke Austin. She says of the songs, "Luke and I have such a wonderful musical marriage....it just fits. And, I know when one listens to this cd, they will hear exactly what I mean. Luke Austin is truly a force to be reckoned with. We both have stories to tell. Thank God, HE gave us music to share with the world!"
If Cheryl is not in the studio or on the road touring, you may catch her dropping in to sing at some of the most celebrated clubs in New York City. One of her favorite spots to frequent is The Cafe Wha, where she is the host and one of the featured vocalists on what they call "ThrowBack Tuesdays", with the old school, real school band called "DisFUNKtion". Yes, this amazing talent is indeed a busy woman who balances all this and a loving family as well. "My Family is my ALL" she says. They keep me focused, and grounded. They are the reason I can do all these other things because they support me and love me unconditionally. To them, I am just mommy, wife, daughter, auntie, and one who loves them just as much as they love me. Now THAT is the real gig of a lifetime!"
Cheryl soon plans to publish a book of poetry, work in television, do more film, and add more production to her resume. "I'm into telling stories" intones Pepsii. "And I believe that being true to me, what my life experiences are and those around me, and sharing that through song, rhyme, or just being an ear or a smile on a difficult day for someone, I believe I am doing what God wants me to do, therefore living my purpose. And, isn't that what it's all about at the end of the day? Well, it is to me and if my music helps someone, anyone, then I am doing my gig as a positive part of the human race!"
"Let Me Be Me,... it is not just about recording music, it is about Being Who and Whose I am, and making a difference in the World!" And we say...'Nuff Said !
Purchase Cheryl Pepsii Riley's new musical journey, "Let Me Be Me" and Be Blessed !

    I love this CD...the lyrics are encouraging and have meaning to the hearers - some in despair, some feeling hopeless, and yet, the message is still very clear - there is hope to all who receive. I praise God for the talented Ms. Riley and wish her the best in her continued quest to raise the level of music and spirits of those who are lost.

  • I am listening right now to the clips and I wish they would keep playing...
    author: wow! hot! real hot!

    Each and every song has a smooth old school groove packed with soul, it's real music, not like the new school, but more of a classic feel. I love it. I will be purchasing it, my collection will not be complete until I get it. Most definitely the props are to you Cheryl as the vocalist, but the music producer is a genius as well. Nice tracks! Love it! I can't wait for the poetry book to arrive, that's my dream as well, but I can not seem to get it together! I am praying for God to bless me with the season of release and blessings over it. (Let me know when yours is out!) mikki underscore twenty five eighty at yahoo dot com. May God continue to bless you. Can't wait to see you in another Tyler play as well. My friend's mom just saw Madea Goes to Jail for the first time and she loved every outfit you had on. She was like I wonder where she gets her outfits I bet they are expensive.

  • I enjoyed every song on the CD

    This is one hard working women. ' THANK GOD '

  • WHAT A GEM!!!
    author: AMARU

    Miss Cheryl Pepsii Riley is one of those artists in my opinion who don't have to put out an album every year, or two years to have people remember them. I have know this lady's work ever since, but her latest Let Me Be Me, is her BEST yet!!! I love the album immensely, especially the title track, and Call On Him. The lyrics are meaningful, poignant, to the point, about real issues, the melodies are HEAVEN, and the production is somewhere way beyond HEAVEN! Mind you, unlike many artists these days, miss Cheryl wrote, produced and performed all tracks, and sang back up... so! Long live miss Cheryl Pepsii Riley and her producer! What I'm trying to say, y'all: get the album already! :):) AMARU.

  • A very cool album!

  • GRRLLLLLLLL u out did yourself this time!!!!!!!!!
    author: Dabrielle "Dabby" Thomasson

    I absolutely love this CD. I couldnt write more the last time I gave my review bcuz I was in school. It is so much more that I wanted to say but i couldnt. This CD has touched me in so many ways that Im a better person than I was before I got the cd. My anthum is, you know certain people have a anthum that they can relate too, and mine is number six "LET ME BE ME!". I have to listen to that song as soon as I get up in the morning. That song is like my coffee and I dont even drink coffee. Everything that song talks about applys to me. I do have a loud laughter like cheryl and I did used to be a people pleaser. I thank cheryl for making this Cd and I believe that she made this cd just for me. I also thank GOD for giving her that powerful, emotional, strong, uplifting voice that she has. GOD knew the right gift to give her......didnt he? I also wanted to ask this.....have you ever thought about doing a remake of "Thanks for my Child"?. I LOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVEEEEE that song so much and it would be nice to here the song in her voice as it is today. So could you think about that and consider it for me....your ultimate fan....PLEASE!!!!!!

    I have been listening to cheryl pepsi since the 80'S with thanks for my child. She has been an inspiration and a longevity of artist in this business. Not many from the 80'S has done the things she has and still put out a album after 14 years and still sounds the same. I love her voice and the songs on this album are a wonderful compilation of inspirational words, funk driven and soul and jazzy tuned. I love it. No doubt.

  • Response
    author: Melanie

    In response to Ms. Ann L. N.: you must not have heard Mrs. Riley saaaang, "Taking My Life Back (Class Reunion);" It was an awesome performance. I think that you must have missed that part....Anyway, Mrs. Cheryl Pepsii Riley-Grace, I hope that you are already working on the NEXT album...DON'T MAKE US WAIT 14 YEARS AGAIN, PLEASE...and by the way, can you please do a re-make of "Thanks for My Child"? That "situation" is still so prevalent in today's society. That song helped many of women get through plenty of rough days...and nights...lol. Most radio stations, unless they have "old school" mixes or something, don't play it too much anymore. WE NEED IT BACK...also, any tours planned?

  • Love this album!

I can't wait to receive. I am glad you have finally done another album.

  • The Bomb!
    author: Melanie

    Ok, I had gotten saved and sactified "Wanda" and "Sheila" (characters from Tyler Perry plays) confused with the real diva, Mrs. Cheryl "Pepsii" Riley-Grace. I expected the vocals to be awesome, and hear lyrics about love and God. Well, Mrs. Pepsii's bottle 'exploded' with the tracks "Damn", and "Inside"; they are too raw...they could be anthems for some of us women. Anyhow, the entire album is great; it's easy listening with powerful messages. To Mrs. Riley-Grace from us "real music" lovers: It's about time...We've been missin' ya...we "love you to pieces".....This album is a must have...

  • U are a blessing from God

  • Flawless
    author: Michael Cowan

    This woman won my ear when I saw her in a Tyler Perry stage production. She was by far the best singer on that stage with a flawless streaming of vocal styles from raw heartfelt emotions of gospel to the riffs and runs of the world's best jazz vocalist. God has truly given her agift that she has watered and it has grown and has so far to go.

And, isn't that what it's all about at the end of the day? Well, it is to me and if my music helps someone, anyone, then I am doing my gig as a positive part of the human race!"

    Cheryl has put her foot in it(as Madea would say). When I first heard her in "Thanks for My Child" I was blown away. She had a strong voice like the ladies from church when we were growing up. Then I didn't hear much music from her and I saw her in the plays and I was like that is Cheryl. Her voice is unique. Thanks, Cheryl for blessing us with that beautiful music that only you make.

    This CD had so much soulful energy and musical variety that I kept it in my CD player for days without ever removing it. I was sure to share this CD with my closest friends who intend to buy it as well. Cheryl's vocals are so soothing and well sung. At this time, she has become one of my favorite artists and her vocals mixed with such excellent musical production matches perfectly. This CD is just what I needed. Best of Success to Ms. Riley and her musical team. YOU DID AN INCREDIBLY DYNAMIC JOB!!!

    author: Licia

    I'm loving it. From the first time I heard a sample of the songs I knew I had to add it to my collection. I've been waiting for the release of this cd for quite a while now and I must say it was well worth the wait. I immediately imported it to my iPod so I can have it with me at all times. Great Job! Now this is what I call REAL MUSIC.

    I haven't heard the entire cd yet, but I LOVE "Let Me Be Me". From the beat to the vocals, everything is on point and perfected. 10 STARS!!!

  • I'm happy with who Cheryl has become
    author: Emmanuel

    This CD is strong. Every song is arranged to show off the strength of Cheryl's voice. This has to be her tightest album to date. I like the many styles given, especially the gospel/inspiration tracks on the disc. I can feel her confidence and hear her message. I'm glad to have witness her growth. This is a must have.
