Producing and recording the song

	This was all done during lockdown 2020 so my only option (and often preferred option) was to record at home. 
There are two versions. One is very stripped back with soaring strings and acoustic guitar, and the single version, made more radio friendly.
	I got in touch with a great musician called Harry who wrote and performed violin and viola, layered them and sent them over to me. His arraignment was inspiring and I was delighted with what he had recorded.
The mixing process took some time as this was all done using headphones and my laptop.

I sadly lost my Dad earlier this year, he was the heart of our family and the most incredible Man and I am 100% daddies girl. I have dedicated this album to him. He heard all of the songs as I was working on them and was, along with my Mum, my biggest fan. He called me his little songbird so it seems fitting to put this album out and dedicate it to him.

Come Home To You

Come Home To You by DonnaMarieSongs

Won't forget this night

Won't Forget this Night

UK singer/songwriter Donna-Marie releases her latest single 'BETTER DAYS’ co-written Emma Moore on December 28th 2018.

Donna is also a producer and musician and has played every instrument on this track and you’ll hear the percussive skills of record producer Justin Johnson (Thorne Hill, Emma Moore, B*witched) playing drums. ‘Better Days’ will be released on her own record label Climbing Mountain Records. It’s earthy and blues driven guitars are quite a departure from her last single ‘BLACKLIST’ which featured the ‘chickin pickin’ guitar skills of Tom Wright, which was released earlier this year and is still getting airplay worldwide.

The last two years Donna has been playing with highly successful UK touring show ‘A Country Night in Nashville’ and during her ‘down time’ continued working on her debut album, which will be released later in 2019.
