LONDON, UK: In a world often divided by borders and beliefs, singer-songwriter Sheree is issuing a melodic call for radical empathy, featuring powerhouse vocalist Jessica Ortiz, Sheree announces the release of “I Am You and You Are Me (Tu Eres Yo),” a bilingual duet designed to foster unity and celebrate the universal bond of sisterhood. The single will be released on 20 March, 2026 via ExpansionRecords.com.
Timed intentionally for Women’s History Month, the single is a reimagining of the standout track from Sheree’s latest album, Message from the Soul: The Power of Music.
A Vision of Unity
The inspiration for the duet was born from Sheree’s desire to "provoke thinking" about how we perceive our neighbours. By choosing to record in Spanish and English, Sheree aims to make the song’s core message, that we are reflections of one another, accessible to a global audience.
"With all that’s going on in the world, I felt it necessary to promote unity and likeness," says Sheree. "I asked myself what teachings figures like Jesus, Gandhi, Mother Teresa, or Buddha would impart today. The answer always returns to how we treat one another."
The Power of Sisterhood
The collaboration with Jessica Ortiz was a natural evolution. After admiring Ortiz’s ministry and performance style, Sheree invited her to lend her voice and spirit to the project. Ortiz not only provided stunning vocals but also meticulously translated the lyrics to ensure the song’s essence remained intact across languages.
The recording process was described as "magical and empowering," marked by a seamless blend of styles. The track features:
- Sheree on her new Taylor T5z Pro Harbor Blue guitar, providing a crisp, soulful foundation.
- A lush string and piano arrangement by the acclaimed Brian Hargrove.
- Harmonies that bridge cultural differences to highlight shared humanity.
Honouring "HERstory"
Releasing during Women’s History Month is a deliberate tribute to the strength and accomplishments of women worldwide. "We are HERstory," Sheree asserts, noting that the song is a celebration of the kindred spirit found in female collaboration.
“I Am You and You Are Me (Tu Eres Yo)” is more than a song; it is an invitation to embrace the "other" as ourselves.
