One day Claire Hawkins is going to have one hell of a memoir on her hands as she’s been traveling with her music for *checks notes* many, many years.

Hard to love, wrong idea, are you listening? While these appear to be messages I sent back when I was a part of the dating scene, they are not. Rather, they are just a few songs from No Hard Feelings, the fifth album from Emily Frembgen. Due out everywhere you can get your hands and... Continue Reading →
Many moons ago Rosaleen came into my life via a writing gig elsewhere. From there a conversation about a crush was had, and today we’re back to where we started - the music.
