The East Harlem New York native plans to release her second single “One Moment” off the Invincible album which will be released on her birthday, January 28th. The Aquarian said that she plans to release the Invincible LP in late in February or early March.
She also spoke to us on the production of the album, and how she had more freedom to pick and choose which songs will be on Invincible to tell the story her way. The album is an upbeat fun experience with some great surprises, like a cover from an artist that she really loves and is excited about, but you have to listen to the interview to find out.
