Shirley Casesar releases her 41st CD, I Know The Truth, the first to be released on her new record label Shu-Bel Records in the USA, licensed to Artemis Gospel, and released in Europe, Africa and Asia by Zoe Records. To include 12 tracks with a variety of styles including a twist of hip hop, church and quartet where she undoubtably brings her signature powerhouse vocal with an abundance of love and encouragement.

A woman who has always exhibited unparalleled charisma, who could have long ago retired and rested on her many successes, does it again. Shirley Caesar is the essence of inspiration and vitality, a global sensation, a legend.
