A re-release celebrating humanity, radical empathy and the universal language of music.
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 re-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 humanity. The single will be released on 3rd July, 2026 via ExpansionRecords.com.
The single is a reimagining of the original standout track (in English), from Sheree’s latest album, Messages 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.
"If we can all embrace the joy of a child while treating others as if they were our own child, what a world this would be!." Sheree Brown.
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 "OURstory"
Releasing during July, 2026 is a deliberate tribute to the strength and accomplishments of humanity worldwide. "We are OURstory," Sheree asserts, noting that the song is a celebration of the kindred spirit found in human 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.
