Chapter 52: Very flavorful
At exactly midnight, Sarah’s single "New Beginnings" went live on all major streaming platforms. She and Silas had stayed at the recording studio to watch the release happen in real time, both of them staring at their phones and laptops as the song became available around the world.
"It’s live," Zachary announced from his laptop, his voice filled with excitement. "Your single is officially out there."
Sarah felt her heart racing as she refreshed her phone screen. There it was - her new song, available for everyone to hear. The cover art looked professional and beautiful, showing a silhouette of her against a sunrise.
"I can’t believe it’s actually happening," Sarah whispered, her eyes filling with tears of joy.
The second song, their collaboration, "Finding Home," was also released at the same time. It was a beautiful duet about friendship and finding your way back to the people who matter most.
"Now we wait," Silas said, though he was just as excited as Sarah. "Let’s see what people think."
They didn’t have to wait long. Within the first hour, comments and streams started pouring in. Sarah’s phone buzzed constantly with notifications from social media platforms as people discovered her new music.
By morning, both songs were making waves online. Sarah’s single was trending on multiple platforms, and the collaboration with Silas was being praised by music critics and fans alike.
Sarah woke up early, unable to sleep because of her excitement. She immediately grabbed her phone and started reading through the comments on her music.
"This is exactly what I needed to hear today. Thank you, Sarah."
"Her voice is like honey. I’ve missed her so much."
