“Invidia” is now on streaming platforms! Recorded and co-produced by Lito Vales who also played guitars on this single. Synths & Mix by yours truly. Mastered by David Roman at 4130 Mastering. Libby Boland contributed lyrics for the 2nd verse and provided beautiful harmonies throughout the song.
Invidia is the Roman goddess of envy, her Greek counterpart being Nemesis. I took a break from performing even before Covid shut everything down because I wasn’t feeling joy anymore. When the lockdown restrictions lifted, I started to see live shows again. I discovered local bands who already had adoring fans and huge followings. I wondered why and how I missed the opportunities to perform in my area when I could have years ago. My FOMO kicked in. I was afraid of being forgotten. I wanted people to hear my music. I wanted to connect with new fans. I wanted to be back onstage again. So I put myself back out there, and here I am today presenting you this new song that was inspired by all the artists I’ve seen over these past 4 years, especially the women. May all the lights continue to shine bright on you!

“There Goes”
Available for download on https://debbiechou.bandcamp.com/
I wrote "There Goes" in April 2020 at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. I began playing livestreams, and at the end of each performance, I would close with "We'll Meet Again" which was made famous by Vera Lynn. At that time, the global death toll was at 200,000. When I performed this song at a live stream in October 2020, the US death toll alone reached 200,000. When I recorded this song in March 2021, it surpassed 500,000. Those who perished never got to see better days to come. I dedicate this song to them, to everyone in isolation, to the essential workers, and anyone who lost their jobs this past year.
"Shivers" was written by Colin Fitzgerald of Eulogy Club. I recorded keys and vocals on the original track in 2013, which you can listen to here: https://eulogyclub.bandcamp.com/track/shivers
