That was an insanely terrific play on that song!! She knocked that out of the ball park!!

[@davev3559]

Take her off the streets and her into a recording booth. Incredible vocal and audition.

[@jaxscales6158]

I wanna hear her sing one of Lionel’s songs now. Absolutely love Stevie Wonder ❤

[@ibrockinrobin67]

YES!! I didn't want it to stop.

[@asandi4444]

She sings with such freedom and such genuine JOY. I love love love this singer and can't wait to hear more.

[@robertantonnyc]

switching up Stevie Wonder is a HUGE risk... and it sounded amazing in her voice. Gorgeous riffs, tender vibrato, some nervous movement but the vocal was amazeballs. I will be listening to this again and again. - So You Wanna Be A Singer
