For this song, Shining Like the Sun, we are lucky to have teresa again as Esther, so the vocals sound much better. And she’s also the co-composer of one of the melodies in this song! In October 2025, we managed to finalize the production of this song thanks to our co-producers Paul Hyde, Paloma Martins, Justin Rayna, Bernardette Goh, Lis Sniderman, and Edina Matsuo. This humbly marks our first crowdfunded song.
