Stern is currently recording new tracks for an as-yet-untitled CD, due out in 2009. More details will be announced soon.

Her recent 'Africa' CD has attracted the attention of a growing international audience. Over the summer, she opened for the legendary Salif Keita in New York City, was invited to perform at the United Nations days later, and subsequently celebrated the European release of her career-defining album, which was recorded over a two-year span at Keita's Bamako Studios in Mali.

Stern's stature as a 'Global Music Artist' has grown in the wake of 'Africa', and her live performances have reflected the dynamic shift, both in terms of instrumentation and personnel.

Since its U.S. release, critics have embraced 'Africa' as "a significant new chapter in a career marked by bold changes," and Stern was interviewed in the recent Annual Women's Issue of Jazziz Magazine. 'Africa' has been praised as "one of the best CDs of the past year, in any genre."
