Karew Entertainment proudly announces they’ve been honored with a total of four nominations at this year’s biggest night in gospel music. The prestigious Stellar Awards. As a result of Karen Clark Sheard’s critically acclaimed album Still Karen, Sheard has been nominated for “Albertina Walker Female Artist of the Year”, “Contemporary Album of the Year” and “Music Packaging of the Year”. The album’s Co-Executive Producer J. Drew Sheard II, was also nominated for “Producer of the Year” on the same project. The winners will be announced at the upcoming award ceremony in Nashville. It will be held on Saturday, August 16, 2025.
The Grammy and NAACP Image Award-Nominated Album
Still Karen, is Sheard’s sixth solo album. It combines the sounds from producers Anthony Brown, J Moss and co-Executive producers Pharrell Williams and J. Drew Sheard II. The album’s leading single, “Send it Down” spent two weeks at #1 on Billboard and MediaBase. Moreover, the second single, “Completely Yours”, has just entered Top 30 with the expectation to head to the top of the chart as well.
The music from the album has received an overwhelmingly positive response. It has been referred to by many as “a no skip album”. During last year’s Stellar Awards ceremony Sheard rendered a special performance of “Yes”. She was later joined by her Grammy-nominated daughter Kierra Sheard for a performance of “Look at Me”. Both of these songs are also on the album.
Thankful
When asked about the album’s success and four Stellar nominations Sheard II says, “I’m truly thankful for the overwhelmingly positive feedback we’ve received from this album. It was truly a passion project for me and KCS. We worked to pull a lot of the elements from her iconic record Finally Karen and put a spin on it. The spin reflects something that speaks to today.
Now to receive four nominations from the Stellar Awards is truly a blessing that I don’t take lightly. Consequently, I pray that it causes those who haven’t heard it to listen and be blessed by it as well.” When asked about his nomination as “Producer of the Year” he says, “Wow, to be nominated in a category among so many other great producers is truly an honor for me. I’ve been producing for many years. To be chosen and recognized alongside them is truly amazing. I will forever cherish this moment.”
The Stellar Awards will take place at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center on Saturday, August 16th at 4:30pm in Nashville, TN. For more information on tickets, the host hotel and frequently asked questions, visit thestellarwards.com.
