For A Moment

Merril Bainbridge

Gotham/BMG Australia

WE SAY

Merril is best known for the excellent Mouth, an international hit in 1997. This is from her new album which is available for license outside of Australia and New Zealand. Vocally, melodically, lyrically, production-wise, it's simply lovely.
