Comments like these make creating this music all worthwhile! ❤️ Thank you, Karolainn!
Matt Forbes ¿cómo se llama este género de música?✨🔥
@@felixardoviera60 si mal no me equivoco es el Vintage Pop, o probablemente Jazz, no estoy completamente seguro
@@felixardoviera60 Sorry I missed this -- the commenter below is correct...I call this 'vintage pop' but it's also known as "big band jazz", "swing music" or "traditional pop". I have a playlist on Spotify with a lot of this kind of music on it ("Vintage Pop: Crooners & Jazzers")
Absolutely love this version. Love to see how you enjoy it. Congrats! Regards from Mexico!
So happy to hear that, Lorely! We certainly had a blast putting it together!
It’s amazing how this chart can be a ballad or uptempo. And this chart at the uptempo percolates.
Спасибо,маэстро!!!
Thanks for watching!

I explored your incredible voice just two weeks ago and I can’t stop listening to you until that day. I think you do not just singing also you seem like living at that times. I hope I could have a chance to watch and listen to you on the stage.
Wow, thank you! I'm so happy you've been enjoying all the music. Hopefully we'll get a chance to get out there and tour when this pandemic is behind us!
