Debuts Friday! This musical message of positivity comes straight from the heart, in A cappella! “It’s an uplifting song that I’m really proud of,” she says.

Something we could all use, right?

On This Day: The Birth Of Brasilia…

The story of Brazil’s capital city of Brasília is as epic as it is unique, and the result of a centuries-old dream. From above, it looks like a winged bird in flight.

Brasilia was inaugurated on April 21, 1960.

And it morphed into an eternal tribute!

A First-Time Duet for Ella & Ryan

Bossa Nova and duets? That’s Dick Farney with Norma Bengell or ‘Corcovado’ with Astrud and Joao. Now, two rising stars take their turn.

Penned for the two to sing.
