“Michelle Ray leaves her mark, just as a ‘Tattoo’ does but Ray does it with a powerful voice and the emotive delivery not many artists are capable of. Big and bold this single has the same vibe you get from Pink, or Adele or other truly expressive vocalists.

A fun track that has a life all its own!”
“Jaci Butler comes straight at you with a flow that is more Punk Pop than Hip-Hop. The track grabs and holds you through the entre progression.

This is a fun party vibe and one that works quite well.”
