Just dropped! @dallasmusicnetworkofficial 2023 Artist Accelerator pilot student, @lelizabethward ‘s very first original song “Mood Swings!” Out now!!!. This is the first of 7 from her new original EP “Defining LE” produced by #dallasmusicnetwork Director of Artist Development, Roberts Marcus, AKA @mavtraxx
@ebpnoman88 introduced me ( @beverlyperrymusic ) to LE in December of 2022. Upon speaking with her mother I discovered she did not have original music. I knew that Mav was the right person to take her from a singer to a singer-songwriter and keep her excited about the music during the process. I set up a meeting to get the process started with Mav. I couldn’t be more proud of what Mav and LE have accomplished together.
In April 2023 we recorded her EP at @btwhspva with talented student musicians age 13 to 18. I’m also very proud of the talented group of young instrumentalists on this recording.
We filmed this process and will be releasing the documentary “Dallas Music Network Presents - The Making of Defining LE” in the next 2 to 4 weeks. Follow Dallas Music Network for the drop date.

lyrics:
Flippin' on the radio,
notes begin to play,
piano and saxophone,
a smooth end to my day.
Came down to see the city
but all I got was jazz.
Although, it feels fitting
with all the razzle dazz.
Mood swings (just like the rhythm)
Love bleeds (out on a piece of paper)
Heart strings (always find a way to strum)
Sound creed (so high I'll meet you later)
Met this guy his name was jet,
he's so fly don't you think?
He pulled out a cigarette
and then he ordered me a drink.
Came down to see the city
but all I got was jazz.
Although, it feels fitting
with all the razzle dazz.
Mood swings (just like the rhythm)
Love bleeds (out on a piece of paper)
Heart strings (always find a way to strum)
Sound creed (so high I'll meet you later)
Mood swings (just like the rhythm)
Love bleeds (out on a piece of paper)
Heart strings (always find a way to strum)
Sound creed (so high I'll meet you later)
