Release date for the new single, "Extra Steps" (Donkey Christmas Song) is Dec. 8, 2023. Your show of support by listening to the song in Spotify on the day of release is greatly appreciated! Here are simple steps you can take to help an independent artist share their music further ... 1) Set up an account in Spotify if you don't yet have an account (it works great to create a free account if Spotify isn't your main music-listening platform); 2) search on the artist name, Vickie Maris, and "follow" the artist account (confirm that you see "artist account" next to the name as there is also a "user" account for Vickie Maris; 3) search on the song title, Extra Steps (Donkey Christmas Song) and click a "save" which is the "heart" emoji in Spotify; 4) click the play button to stream the song. Note: If you are on a free Spotify account, the platform might play another artist's song first and then will roll to the song, Extra Steps, in the cue. This last step is a great way to show your support, and it also allows you to listen to exactly the songs you've chosen as your favorites: 5) Create your own playlist in your Spotify account and search on the songs that you want to add to your playlist. Include "Extra Steps" in your playlist. If you already have a playlist of Christmas music, you could add Extra Steps to your existing playlist. Thank you!
