Eventually, after going through hundreds if not thousands of women to be his queen, the king has just experienced the best night of his life, with a girl named Esther.
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!

This humbly marks our first crowdfunded song.
