Another treat from the land of the young, ambitious, and—dare we say it?—talented: the group Paulin performs their emotional song “Elle” for us.

Fate works in funny ways. Melissa’s tale of how she came to be in Mozart, l'opéra rock shows us that some things are just written in the stars. We’re glad she agreed.
