What people are saying
Launching a Christmas single is something I've always wanted to do, for as long as I can remember.
For me, Christmas is the most magical time of year and the music played is a huge part of that and what makes it so memorable.
All the favourites are rolled out, and for ‘Dance My Way To Christmas’ to possibly be part of the seasonal playlists is a dream come true!
When we got into the studio with the band and Lance, it was everything I could have dreamed of.
