In selecting songs for her forthcoming independent pop rock music album, it was serendipitous for her to choose a song like her soaring signature ballad "Older Than My Years." "When I heard ‘Older Than My Years,’ she lifts her head up, speaking softly, "I knew it was for me. I have always felt this way. Growing up singing you are always surrounded by adults. And it’s about a girl telling her older boyfriend, ‘My love is older than my years / It’s wiser than your fears’ even though she is losing him. It’s a beautiful song; it’s very sad. I understand it and put myself into it."

Cherie becomes animated, almost effervescent when talking about music. "I love music and dancing." Though her native tongue is French, Cherie sings in three additional languages including English, Italian, and Spanish. "Music is the way to communicate what you feel inside, what’s in your heart. It is the same in any language. For me, I am still young, but not so young. The song ‘I’m Ready’ is really about me! I’m ready for love and life and all that it has to offer." "I’m Ready," a spirited dance number and "singer’s song," truly captures the warm spirit of Cherie as a young adventurer. "That’s the fun part," she says, "to think that I could make someone feel good, or want to dance, that’s the best feeling." Cherie also confesses that she loves to dance, especially to her hauntingly upbeat track "Betcha Never" which has an Moroccan /Eastern feeling.
