Reverie (Cherie Currie album)

Reverie is the third full-length studio album by Cherie Currie.[2][3] Released on iTunes March 16, 2015.[1] Cherie released the CD version of this album June 5, 2015 on her eBay page cheriecurriedirect. There is a 35-year gap between Cherie's last full-length studio album, 1980's Messin' with the Boys (with Marie Currie), and 2015's Reverie.[4][5] This was the final studio album produced by Kim Fowley before his death in 2015. Kim helped Cherie release this album to make amends with her after all the money he swindled her out of when she was in the Runaways and for releasing her and Marie's music on Young and Wild without their approval. After Kim's death Cherie's son, Jake Hays, took over producing.[6]

Reception

RockRevolt Magazine wrote "Overall, I was surprised by this album for more reasons than one. Currie’s vocals are pretty damn strong on this album and a thing of beauty in their delivery of emotion and conviction on many of the tracks. She started out at the age of fifteen with no vocal training and even admits that she doesn’t sing a lot today, but you would never know it. She shows a lot of range and depth on this album that I am sure will surprise quite a few people."[7]
