I believe that when you allow yourself to be the most authentic version of yourself, that’s when you truly connect with people,” she said.The evening ended with a standing ovation from the audience.The album is already available on all major streaming platforms, while the full visual album is set to be released to the public in the coming weeks.Will you be listening to this album?•
