“It’s very catchy and has a singer with a soothing voice. While at the same time the beats get you in a positive mood.”

-Bryton Bui

8. Reflections -MisterWives

“I chose this song because I was listening to it while filling this out. Also, this song provides listeners a fun, upbeat tempo with amazing female vocals from Mandy Lee Duffy. Listeners will enjoy the change from traditional vocals and hopefully appreciate the wide range from Ms. Duffy.”
