SA se eie COUNTRY GIRL Chereé  is nou meer as ‘n dekade lank ‘n welbekende naam in die musiekbedryf.
Haar grootste sukses, nietemin, beskryf sy as heelwat meer persoonlik – en dit is haar huwelik met sangstêr WYNAND STRYDOM en – veral, die geboorte van die sangpaar se eerste kind saam – Taylor-Hope.  

Deur haar swangerskap – wat Cheree vreeslik geniet het – het die Country stêr die idee gekry om ‘n album te maak wat moeders, verwagtende moeders (en pa’s) en kinders sou inspireer en bewus maak van die wonderwerk wat Ouer-word eintlik is.

LESSE & LULLABIES is só gebore – ‘n labour of love – en ‘n juweel van ‘n album.

Cheree het saam met haar langtermyn vriend en producer Tony Ridgway saamgewerk om LESSE & LULLABIES ‘n werklikheid te laat word.

Die album is tussen Langebaan en Melkbosstrand opgeneem by Cheree en Ridgway se studios, en Cheree het ‘n handvol uitgesoekte plaaslike Weskus musikante gekry om op die album te speel. Sy en Ridgway het al die verwerkings en produksie behartig, en beide het nuwe, oorspronklike liedjies vir die projek geskryf.

Cheree se vocals en die ambient-country instrumentasie en arrangement is welig en ook minimalis; teatraal en eerlik. 

LESSE & LULLABIES is ‘n baie spesiale en besonderse album. Cheree se diepste en innigste album tot dusver – en haar heel beste!
