Birmingham, AL, November 8, 2005 - Catholic Music Network, www.catholicmusicnetwork.com, is pleased to announce the addition of Catholic recording artist Sharmane Adams’ debut CD “Prayerful Hearts” to its offering of premier Catholic music available online.

When asked about the inspiration for the songs on this CD, Sharmane stated, “I prayed to God to give me the melody! One night, with the help of St. Michael, I completed the St. Michael Song,” she explained. “Throughout the course of the project, I said many Novenas. I truly wanted this to be from God. I was solely depending on His wisdom to show me the way.”

Sharmane also composed several other songs on the “Prayerful Hearts” CD.   Her central vision for doing this project was her desire to help the monks at Clear Creek Monastery in Hulbert, Oklahoma.  “I prayed to God for over a year for Him to lead me and give me the grace to raise funds for Clear Creek Monastery.  In August I was led in pursuing the CD idea.  It is miraculous how beautifully God orchestrated this entire project.  He gave me the vision and I kept running with it until it was complete.”

Sharmane has been singing all her life.  Her focus is to sing wherever she is called.  "The gift that God has given me is something I love sharing with all age groups."  She is originally from Oklahoma but currently resides in Pensacola and is the lead singer in a contemporary Christian band called John 6.

In addition to Sharmane’s angelic voice, there are several children and young adults contributing to the CD.  Sarah Smith sings lead vocal for "The Angelus," background vocals, and recites the Apostles Creed for the "A Decade of the Rosary."  Janine Hogan sings background vocals, and recites the "Glory Be."  Taylor St. Clair is another background vocalist, and recites Scripture for the "Act of Contrition."  Jarrett and Ashlyn Adams recite Scripture readings for "Angels Watching Over You" and  "The Angelus."  Alex and Avery Phibbs recite Scripture readings for "Close Your Eyes" and the "Prayer to St. Michael."
