            My fave solo album is Indigo. I listen to all the solo albums daily but I always play Indigo first. The entire album is so comforting I look forward to listening to it.

            Indigo and D-Day are among my most played albums on repeat, months after their release -- with Indigo we're coming up on a year! It warms my heart knowing that other listeners out there in the world are also finding comfort and inspiration in these albums. This is music that deserves to be heard -- music that can affect hearts and minds.
