Huffington Post Reviews The Kingdom Belongs to a Child
"...she combines the agony of loss with her deeply held values to create an Americana classic that oozes with the blood of her Southern heritage."
Deep in the bowels of a coal-mining town in West Virginia, a young girl named Melissa knew she was destined for a life on the stage. Her first taste of performance art was at the age of three when she began her career in ballet which spanned for two decades until a spinal injury ended her dancing days.

It’s powerful, emotive stuff that really deserves to be heard."
Blogcritics Reviews The Kingdom Belongs to a Child
"Cashavelly Morrison’s debut album, The Kingdom Belongs to a Child, is a collection of songs exploring the deeper side of the human experience. The journey she takes listeners on was born out of Morrison’s own painful experiences, which lend each track a level of authenticity that captures from the very first moments of the album.
