Fridays are for New Music

Date January 11, 2008

Today’s song comes from artist Kendall Payne. I first heard of her a few years ago from April, and instantly starting getting into her style. We heard this song on “Brothers and Sisters” I think; it’s off her newest album, Paper Skin, and the song is called “I Will Show You Love.”
