Below are her topmost songs in a YouTube playlist;
Basically, this track s about a lady who is in love with a certain guy but it’s like her partner does not really appreciate her so she decides to throw in the towel because she does not see the point in them being together. Haina Maana is really infectious.
I’ve listened to it a couple of times since it came out and every time I play it, it’s like I’m hearing if for the very first time. Yup, it’s that good ladies and gentlemen. Mimi, who is Vanessa’s younger sister, has amazing vocals and I believe it is something that runs in their family since their other sister – Nancy Hebron – also has a lovely voice.
