Cherie Adams, former member of Sparrow Records’ group Avalon, charts at #1 with the release 'Water,' the first radio single from her debut solo CD, The Sweet Life.

The Sweet Life, Adams’ first solo offering, showcases Adams as a songwriter in her own right, having written or co-written 8 of the 11 songs with heavyweights that include Robert White Johnson (who wrote for Celine Dion) and fellow artists Scott Krippayne, Paul Brandt, and Cindy Morgan. “There’s a story behind every song on this record,” explains Adams. "Sometimes I wrote these songs from a strong conviction and belief in what I was writing but other times, I had to draw from what I'm learning about God and just write these songs in total faith."

Adams, who was part of Avalon from 1998 to 2002, has numerous radio hits and accolades to her credit including an American Music Award, two Dove awards, two gold records and two Grammy nominations. 'Water' is Adams' first #1 radio single as a songwriter in her own right.

Adams, a much sought after speaker, singer, songwriter and author, is currently working on a new book project. For more information on Cherie Adams, visit  www.cherieadams.com
