"What Have You Done To Me?" continues to get picked up and featured on stations across Canada, and I was recently interviewed on the Northern Spotlight on Fort McMurray's Mix 103.7 (in my home province - I'm very happy about that!).
The plan is to come by some of these stations in December - weather permitting ;) - to meet my wonderful supporters.

WHYDTM is getting lots of commercial FM rotation in Nova Scotia, Quebec, Ontario, British Columbia and Saskatchewan - and I'm holding out hope that my original home province of Alberta will pick it up too... :)))
Here are the amazing stations that are being so kind to me:
CHOE, CHRM, CIEU, CFLM, CHNC et CJAN in lovely Quebec
CHET/PEACE FM in B.C. CJFK - XFM, CIGO/THE HAWK, and CJLS/THE WAVE in Nova Scotia
CKXS/NEW 99.1 in Ontario
CFGW/THE FOX in Saskatchewan
Thank you Canada! <3

I played at this awesome charity event for Ronald McDonald House of Southern Alberta. It all went down in Calgary on Aug 7th and it was a memorable gig. I was one of about a dozen performers who lined the track, as over a thousand participants came by and cheered. Thanks to the organisers for the incredible job they did and to all the runners/walkers who braved the course!

Nothing makes me more homesick for Canada than the warm reception I'm receiving from S.A.C.! Not only have they featured the new video on their website, but they invited me to write a guest blog. You can read it here. Thank you S.A.C. for your amazing support! :)

My new single, What Have You Done To Me, has been featured in Sound On Sound magazine's Mix Rescue (July 2011). Mike Senior, of Cambridge Music Technology, mixed and provided additional production, and the result is awesome. Read more about it here.

I wrote this song a while back, and it was inspired by my husband. With the vibrant new mix and additional production by Mike Senior, What Have You Done To Me is now officially available in digital format on CD Baby here, and it will be on iTunes, Spotify, along with many other digital distributors within the next few days. The gorgeous video was produced completely by Naomi McDonald, and you can read more about the video here.

Dead or Alive's You Spin Me Round must be one of the most recognizable songs in contemporary pop. When I heard it on a TV commercial recently, the lyrics kind of jumped out at me. I heard the song in a new way. When I experimented with playing the song slowly on the piano, it just felt right. I can't put my finger on the mood of that song, though. Is it about longing, loss, obsession or stalking? I'll let you decide. I sang this one with the lights off.
David Valentine and Ed Logan of wonderful Heartbeat Studio did the additional production, recording and final mix. Read all about it here.

A ballad that I wrote a number of years ago has been featured at this years Women of Vision Awards, presented by Global TV Calgary (March 2011). The song is about survival and facing adversity, and I am very happy that the organisers of this year's event felt the song was a good match for their cause and purpose.
