Singer-songwriter Kelley Cole releases her new single, twenty five. Our first reaction was: ”WOW”. This comes from deep within. The lyrics are based on Cole’s real life. Around the 15th of April 2023, she realized she owed the IRS money. And no, not just a little.

We think Cole communicates ..read more
