Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone! For today's episode, I pulled the audio recording from the YouTube video for Sound Scrub's episode on my Christmas single, "Beneath The Mistletoe", before it turned into a podcast! My apologizes for the fuzzy audio... we didn't use microphones to make the video. I'm joined by a girl named jaen and John McLucas to discuss how we gave this original, written by Ali Handal and a girl named jaen, a beautiful, pop, Lisa Danaë-esque sound. Thank you to those who have embraced this podcast! I truly appreciate it and hope that you've discovered some new independent artists that you will continue to look out for. I can't wait to hear the music coming out in 2020 and share it with you!
