Thank you, just released “EVERLASTING - The Remixes”
-definitely support!
When I released the dance EP “Paradise” in 2013 I did quite a few interviews as well as sharing on my social media-I would not be making any more full length albums-only singles, and EPs. So the answer is No. That’s what I continue to put out - singles and EPs.
“The Makeover” in 2008 was my final full length.
Here’s my ongoing music discography-all available at digital music platforms to download or stream. Much love!
