What is appealing to watch is how her body sways so gracefully to the rhythms, as she lovingly raises her arms and lets them move fluidly to convey the story.

Joel Evans and Adryan Russ released CHANGING MY TUNE as a compilation of their best songs, representing the culmination of a creative partnership which has garnered numerous film and television placements.
