I have exciting news!! I will be working with Jason Cross, a producer out of Massachusetts, this fall and we will be recording a full production of my song “Will I Be Bored in Heaven” to be released as a single in 2025.  I know this is a Songbird community favorite and people always seem to love this song at my live shows.  If you haven't had a chance to hear it yet, you can listen to an acoustic performance of it here.  

I have been talking with Jason about all the ideas that I have and he also has some really cool ideas that I had not thought of as well. (which is why he gets paid the big bucks lol). 

Speaking of $, I have applied for a grant thru the Vermont Arts Council to help with the funding of this recording as it is going to be full on production with Nashville musicians including a full orchestra!! I have never had so much production on one of my songs in my life! This is a BFD for an independent artist like me.  

I will also be recording my vocals in Jason's high end pro studio, using a top notch mic, down in Massachusetts instead of using my home recording studio set up.(Which is a pretty sweet set up for doing my vocal takes at home but his is top of the line equipment)   

I am keeping my fingers crossed, praying and manifesting that the grant comes thru as it would really help with some of the costs. I am being guided to move forward with getting this song produced in a big way!  

I would like to take this moment to publicly thank the folks in my Songbird community that have financially supported this song so far.  Matt Steady, Will Hadcroft, Michelle Steiner and Claire Astone.  You guys rock and I am so grateful for you.

If you would like to help out with the production of this song and be part of this BFD project😉 here is my PayPal donation link below
PayPal-MelissaDLove 

All donations to my PayPal right now are going directly back to the production costs of this song as I am blessed to have the basics covered in my life right now...food, housing costs etc.).  I am not a starving artist...lol, but am still on a budget.  Anyone who donates towards this song will be mentioned on social media, in my Songbird community and on the credits when the song is released in 2025.(I don't have an official release date yet)  You will have access to the song(download) waaaaaay(most likely a month or 2 before) before it is officially dropped. Any amount helps, it all adds up! 

If you would like to be be part of my Songbird email list community and get all the juicy details as this progresses(stuff I don't share publicly because I don't like feeding trolls lol) you can sign up here. 

Thanks for being you and for being in my world and supporting me on my musical journey. 

All the best,
💜Melissa D
