My kind of song is always one where the vocals are delivered to perfection while the simplicity of the melody will make you want to sing along. Also worth mentioning, the instrumentation and its arrangement should get one so addicted to the sound from the first listen. The harmonies must be a killer.

She urges her growing fan base to expect music, music and more music from her. His overarching philosophy is that “Life in itself is a freestyle, Treat it like such. Do what you love the way you love to do it and if you fail in the process, it will be a learning experience and not a regrettable one”.
