DEDICATED is CRJs 4th Studio Album, after EMOTION, which we covered with screenwriter Mark Palermo in a previous episode. So if you'd like to hear more about her career leading up to DEDICTED, go listen to that ep!After EMOTION, CRJ wanted to do a "light disco" album, having deep-dove into ABBA's back catalogue. The album's working title was "Songs to Clean Your House To". But ultimately she went another direction, wrote 200+ songs, and finally ended with the 15-track album we know today.THE WINES (and/or Not-Wines)Coming in PART 2 tomorrow!Support the showOur Sponsor: CURATED WINE SHOP, mid-city Los Angeles, they'll help you pair wine with any movie!Curated-Wines.comBecome a "Produce-er", commisson your own episode, get a shout out on the show, and more at:vintertainmentstudios.comFollow us on the socials!https://www.instagram.com/vintertainmentpodhttps://bsky.app/profile/davebaxter.bsky.socialhttps://www.youtube.com/@vintertainmentstudios
