Chardel Rhoden shines so bright in the singer-songwriter’s amazing new album, “Growth”.

The album showcases the artist’s heart, stellar vocals and wisdom. 

The album starts with “Couldn’t Ask For More”, a song about staying thankful for life and everything we have to be grateful for.

You’re immediately struck by her pitch perfect voice and ability to carry the tune. You can feel her courage and growth setting the tone for the album.

In “Suddenly” Rhoden sends an inspiring message to stand proud even through the ups and downs. And to celebrate the love in our life.

“Venus” tells a story of heartbreak and you can feel the emotions in her voice as she reflects on the loss.

Turn a negative into a positive and celebrate new love with Rhoden’s “Sing A Love Song”. This is one of the album’s standout tracks that makes you pause and truly appreciate Rhoden’s vocal star power.

“Queen Of The Arena” is an empowering track celebrating accomplishments and super human abilities to balance everything that comes your way. 

Diving deeper into the times of hardship, Rhoden beautifully blends reggae, pop and R&B in the heartwarming song “Answer Your Call”, promising to be there even when things look down.

Rhoden is able to reflect on so many aspects of life in the album and takes us along her journey and that honest reflection is one of the reasons she is just a talented artist. “Break Up To Make Up” is another great example of a song that shows her strength.

“Precious Lord” closes out the album and is a beautiful affirmation of Rhoden’s faith that her path is on the right route with many great things ahead.
