The first time I heard her voice was in her producer's studio. I asked him what he was working on and he played a little song called "Feel Free" for me. I immediately asked him who the artist was to which he answered, "Theresa Walker." It was just the kind of song I had been looking for...

At the time the team at AcousticFuel.com had been putting together our first off-line compilation. The theme was "empowering music for women". There was no doubt that "Feel Free" was a perfect fit.

It's the kind of song that is so easy on the palate that it glides down and takes nothing away from you. In fact, it can actually lighten the load a bit and even free you up from some of your inhibitions. Just what a lot of us could use from time to time - a great song that gives us that push that we sometimes need.

It's always amazing to me when I find gems like this one - and I mean Theresa Walker. She's the type of singer/songwriter with the kind of pipes that belt out the most important lyrics or messages on life that can really hit home for you in a clear and simple way.

Furthermore, she is the "next big thing", and we are proud to be a part of her journey.

Need to hear some words of motivation? Well take a listen to the motivational song "Life Your Life" by Melanie Fontana.

With vocals that yell out "Don't be afraid to face your foes, Don't be timid when life gets low", and a beat that is just as empowering, this song definitely deserves to be classified as motivational music.

Improve your life with "Live Your Life"

Listen when: needing that extra push, needing to pump yourself up, feeling like you can't (when you know you can).
