Hello all!
How are things? I hope the changing season has brought happiness and positivity to your world! I’m in London at the moment working on the debut album – it feels good to get back in the studio and work on all the different tracks I’m planning to put on the album. It’s coming together with a nice feel, there’s a lot of variation – from ballads to up-tempo beats and rock/pop. I can’t wait to finish this record! Now that the new EP “Radian” is out (available at http://www.kindheartlionheart.com and iTunes), I can transfer all the useful and cool skills I learnt whilst making that project a reality over to the continuation of the debut album!
I’m going back to the USA in May! I’ll be in New York City filming my new videoclip for the first single off “Radian”, called Questions In My Mind. It was the first ever original song I posted on YouTube way back in the day, so I am really happy that it’s going to be the first single off this record. It just all seems to fit like a musical puzzle :)
I’m also playing another show in New York (of course, how could I resist the temptation to play there again – so amazing!). I’m opening for a great singer called Jeremiah, and the details are the following:

I hope to see you there and have another jam!
After New York City, I’m flying back to Portugal to shoot another videoclip (hehe) for a collaboration I did with a Portuguese band called Hands on Approach. I used to listen to them all the time when I was about 15 years old, and I never thought I’d have the opportunity to work with them. Amazing, really. We joined forces on a single called “Black Tears” which will be on their upcoming album. So, lots more filming ahead! :)
On June 5th I have a show in Salvaterra de Magos, Portugal, and there are details about that above in the “Tour” box! Please do watch that space, it changes quite a lot and things get added all the time!
The website will continue to have new pictures, lyrics+tabs, videos and information added to it so you can keep up with the latest craziness!
Thank you all so much for caring, following my music, making me smile and feel like I have a life worth living and a career worth fighting for. You make every day of mine brighter! If it weren’t for all your support and love, I wouldn’t be as happy as I am (or hyper!), and I certainly wouldn’t be so blessed with these amazing opportunities that I get to share with you all. Thank you for continuing to be a part of the Free World, and coming along for the adventures!
Big kiss,
Ana
