When Alan Cross gives you a list of 5 Songs You Must Hear This Week, you listen! Well… ‘Blink’ was one of those songs this week. And it’s going to take me a YEAR to recover from this one. (see the full list)
Incredibly astounding to believe that “Blink” was welcomed with open arms to American Songwriter, and included in their Daily Discovery column. I will be forever grateful for all who believed in this song and helped it into being.
