It became the first single of an European pop group called Monrose … It's currently # 2 in the German charts, and I'll also translate the song in French cuz they also plan to release it in the whole European market! I'll post a blog this week about my own project, very exciting things are happening right now, and hopefully I'll be able to officially announce the big news (cross fingers)!!!!"
