This is what it comes down to. <br \/><br \/>Built around an instrumental using gorgeous synth sounds, guitars, strong drums Michelle\u2019s vocals sit comfortably within this &#8211; she harmonises with herself on this and that\u2019s one of my favourite parts of the song. Also the chord progression over the chorus &#8211; what a change! <\/p>\n<p>Michelle Ward is a singer songwriter and is a radio DJ at Phoenix FM. This is as a result of her long time collaboration with Ed Rome and as you can hear this is proving to be very fruitful.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michelle Ward is back with a new single \u201cWorld Happy\u201d &#8211; I played it on my show and I\u2019m absolutely in love with it.
