Cristina Ballestero on new single “T H A N K F U L” inspiration

“I wrote this song when I was in a dark place, tired of being sad. I was in need of making a lot of tough shifts and changes I didn’t have energy or want to make. After 2 MASSIVE heart breaks followed by girl-friendships broke my heart as well, I had enough. “T H A N K F U L” took 5 years not only to make the song but to also solidify the interior change I wanted to have a positive perspective despite what I had been through and conscious choices to build a life with people who honor and support me not just in words but in how they treat me. So if you want to hear a song that will make you bop your head that will lift you up and dream about an amazing future, take a listen! THIS WAS THE BEGINNING OF MY SHIFT AND IT CAN BE YOURS.” – Cristina Ballestero
