Vanessa Van Deusen’s releases her new mid-tempo rock ballad, ” I Loved You Then Lost You.” The song captures the essence of early 90s radio pop, reminiscent of the chart-topping hits by Kelly Clarkson and Avril Lavigne. When was the last time you heard a powerful ballad that resonated with you? It’s quite difficult to recall one, isn’t it? Lewis Capaldi had a massive success with “Someone You Loved,” which quickly became the fastest-streamed song on Spotify. One would expect more songs like that to be released, but nevertheless, I suggest giving “I Loved You Then Lost You” a try. Van Deusen, who hails from Pennsylvania, cites Queen, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Taylor Swift as her influences, and this is evident in the catchy and pop-infused debut song Hey! (Are you a lot like me?).

However, it’s not just her great voice that stands out, but also the emotion she puts into her singing. Singers who are only in the business to hit notes belong on shows like American Idol, which Hayley was a part of.

This is why The Daily Telegraph has named Warner as one of Australia’s most accomplished songwriters. Warner’s songwriting credits total over 11 times platinum in worldwide sales.
