Celebrated Entertainment Journalist and Psychotherapist Ventures into Music with Emotional New Single
Los Angeles, CA, USA (PRUnderground) October 17th, 2024
Acclaimed entertainment journalist, photographer, and psychotherapist Sheryl Aronson has officially made her debut as a songwriter with the release of her heartfelt single, “On the Road to Your Heart,” released under Boogsey Music and now available across major streaming platforms, including iHeart Radio. Inspired by her three decades of work as a relationship therapist, the song blends poignant lyrics with smooth jazz and contemporary influences. Released in September 2024, “On the Road to Your Heart” marks a major milestone in Aronson’s diverse and illustrious career.
Aronson’s journey into songwriting was deeply personal, reflecting on themes of love, connection, and self-discovery. “‘On the Road to Your Heart’ was inspired by my work with couples as a relationship therapist for 30-plus years. As I wrote the lyrics, I contemplated what makes relationships challenging, heartbreaking, and yet, we still want to take the chance on love,” Aronson shared in a recent interview with Schmooze Jazz. “We are all walking down the road to each other’s heart when we are in a relationship, and sometimes feel lost and detoured on that journey. We are also journeying down the road to our own hearts as we understand what love means to us.”
Collaborating with a talented team of musicians, including the renowned keyboardist and producer Gail Jhonson, Aronson elevated the original recording of the song into a polished, contemporary production. Jhonson, known for her work with the all-female group Jazz in Pink, infused the track with her signature blend of smooth jazz, funk, and R&B, while vocalists Britt Prentice and Castella brought Aronson’s lyrical vision to life along with musicians Terry Wollman (guitar), B. Thompson (soprano sax), and Jermone Randall (bass). “I totally trusted Gail with my song and knew the final product would be superb,” Aronson said. “She produced ‘On the Road to Your Heart’ with her special golden touch.”
Having spent much of her career highlighting the work of others through her journalism, Aronson’s foray into music comes as a natural evolution of her passion for the arts. She has covered high-profile artists such as Terri Lyne Carrington, Herbie Hancock, and Jeffrey Osborne, and now finds herself stepping into the spotlight with this deeply personal project. “The success of the song belongs to all my friends that have helped me create this beautiful production of ‘On the Road to Your Heart.’ It was a collaboration of what I did originally, with the talented artists who gave their heart and soul to this project,” Aronson expressed with gratitude.
With “On the Road to Your Heart” now gaining traction on platforms like iHeart Radio, Aronson plans to take the next step in her musical journey by developing the song into a full theatrical production. “What I’m working on next is developing the musical play, ‘On the Road to Your Heart,’” she revealed. “It will be a theatrical musical; however, it will also be an experiential interaction for the audience.”
Over the years, Sheryl Aronson has written for various magazines, including AGENDA, Schmooze Jazz, Chic Compass, and Bunny Brunel’s Virtuoso Bass, while photographing concerts and events across the globe. Now, with her debut as a songwriter, she continues to explore new creative territories, guided by her passion for human connection and storytelling.
“On the Road to Your Heart” is available now on all major streaming platforms, including iHeart Radio.
