ABOUT THIS ALBUM
This "Top 20" album is a collection of my most popular songs from 2008 to 2015.  These are the most played songs on Pandora Radio and Spotify, as well as the most purchased songs on iTunes, Amazon and directly from my website.  All songs have been re-recorded and remastered to have a clean and consistent sound, and they all have a fresh, new touch to them as well.  Enjoy.

It is solely because of you that these songs are "hits" and this album is a possibility.  You continue to support my art and my passion, and you encourage and inspire me to keep sharing my creations with you.  If I could hug you all, I would.  Thank you!!!

"McLaughlin is what I refer to as a "heart on her sleeve" composer, i.e. there is no subterfuge, no subtlety at work in her music - she presents her emotional intent of a song forthwith and front and center. It's a testament to her considerable talent that this baring of her soul always works so well, because in the hands of a lesser talent, the music would be melodramatic, overly self-conscious, and would grow tiresome. However, it's not just her technique and artistry, which is impossible to ignore, but also her artist's soul, which seems woven into every piece of music she writes.  No matter how pyrotechnic she can be (and this woman can really play piano with the best of 'em), there is always the presence of heart, sometimes "in your face" and sometimes between the lines, but never hidden behind artifice."

Bonjour, message pour toutes les agences de musique numérique. Vous êtes devenues trop nombreuses pour que je puisse répondre à chacune, donc j’envoie une réponse générale à tous ! Contrairement à ce que mon profil professionnel indique, je ne vis pas de la musique, qui est devenue un hobby fou pour moi, car je ne compose que depuis 2024. Mon rêve n'est pas d'avoir des streams, mais plutôt de trouver des groupes ou des chanteurs capables de défendre mes chansons sur scène. Merci pour votre message, et ainsi, chacun d'entre vous aura une réponse claire et simple ! Salutations ! (Je reçois tranquillement entre 9 000 et 15 000 streams par semaine, sans acheter de streams, juste des streams réels). Je n'ajouterai pas d'autres réponses et je tiens à remercier ceux qui ont pris le temps de laisser un message aimable de soutien pour mes compositions. Salutations à tous !
