MELD portrays the fighting spirit to find joy and positivity amidst the chaos perfectly.

The single, debuting on 12/11/2020... follows HOT on the heels of her debut album release "Words of the Water," which was praised by Forbes, The Tennessean, and Live for Live Music...and received airplay by The 615 on Lightning 100, WMOT Roots Radio, WXNA, and Acme Radio.

lyrics

Bought my first Christmas tree
The same day he broke up with me
Gave myself a little piece of home
To feel better about being on my own
I'm not gonna fall prey to the devil
Gonna top that tree with an angel
Bought some lights in the shape of stars
To remind me what I'm made of

Because I'm not gonna let the darkness win
I'm not gonna let a broken man take my spirit with him
This time I'm not gonna lay myself down for his sins
I'll praise the birth of something good
I'll celebrate the love I deserve

Pop a bottle of champagne
We're gonna toast to a year gone up in flames
Pour out a little for the ones I've lost
And be thankful for the ones that I've still got
And when that midnight bell does chime
I'm gonna sing and I'm gonna cry
Everything that I've left behind
Is part of who I am

Because I'm not gonna let the darkness win
I'm not gonna let a broken man take my spirit with him
This time I'm not gonna lay myself down for his sins
I'll praise the birth of something good
I'll celebrate the love I deserve

Because I'm not gonna I'm not gonna....

I'm not gonna let the darkness win
I'm not gonna let a president take my spirit with him
This time I'm not gonna lay myself down for his sins
I'll praise the birth of something good
I'll celebrate the love I deserve
