The Sweet Selection

The Sweet Selection is the debut studio album by Scottish-Dutch voice actress and singer Sharlie Deem, featuring songs that were either created for or inspired by the Jetanie-Kuboian animated television series The New Adventures of The Sweet Treets. Having been recorded over a three-year period, it was officially released on 30th June, 1996 to promote the upcoming second series of the show.

The Sweet Selection received critical acclaim from critics, who praised the production and vocals from Deem. The album was a moderate hit in Europe, and was the best-selling album in Kuboia in both 1996 and the 1990s decade as a whole. It has also been credited as creating the base for Kuboian pop music of the late 1990s and 2000s.

Recording
In early 1993, after Sharlie Deem applied to reprise her role as Louise for The New Adventures of The Sweet Treets, Ashley Maverick mentioned to her that Kubokartoonz (the co-producers of the show) were doing "a fun experiment" that involved the show having a publicly-released soundtrack to help with promotion and expanding interests of fans of both the show and the soundtrack (Maverick argued fans of one could be interested and give the other a try). Deem felt that she "didn't have the voice" to pursue a music career, but agreed to do anyway, believing that it would be a fun and new experience.

The Sweet Selection was recorded over a three-year period, and was worked on slowly as Deem was also needed to record lines for The New Adventures. Deem also re-recorded most of the tracks on the album multiple times, since her voice was slightly maturing since she began recording (Deem was sixteen years old when recording began, and nineteen when it finished).
