In Kristen We BrustTheme Song for "In Kristen We Brust"Every piece of this project is done with the greatest of intention. Every word. Every note. Every heart. The heartbeats behind the theme beats are two of the rarest and best. True girls girls. A real who-run-the-world dream team. The theme song was written by Leah Turner and Jessica Cayne. Leah, “sissy,” is my soul on fire and the epitome of God gifting sisters by grace and less by blood. Our family tree is rooted in the realest of life. Jessica is a fellow Capricorn, and the two created an "empire state of mind" vibe that makes me f...
