Ashley Cleveland Returns with 10th Career Album "One More Song"

Ashley Cleveland

On February 2, 2018, Grammy-winning songstress Ashley Cleveland released her new studio album "One More Song," which is the 10th career album.

"I felt that these songs deserved to have a home, and they deserved to be heard. I write about the things that I know. I am not a fiction writer. All of the songs are very autobiographical. I like to let the music dictate.. I love (the song)  'Lily Grown Wild' since it's about my youngest child leaving home. Not only because of her, or what it's about, but I love its structure. I grew up in the greatest era of rock and roll, and that song reminds me of a Rolling Stones song."

Throughout her career in the music business, Cleveland has won three Grammy awards in "Best Rock Gospel" album category. "That was a wonderful experience each time," she exclaimed. "I love traditional gospel music."Cleveland is also a writer of a memoir entitled Little Black Sheep. She is working on two new books and a documentary, Who's The Girl, that is due for release in 2018. "They are currently pitching it to film festivals, so that is in the works," she said. "Some of the songs on this record show up in the film."
