‘STEAMY DREAMS’ REACHES TOP 5

Great news for all you lovers of country music out there – Connie Kis Andersen’s single ‘Steamy Dreams’ has just hit the top 5 in the Australian country music charts.

“I want to extend my sincere and heartfelt gratitude to  all radio and listeners supporting STEAMY DREAMS,” says Connie Kis, “I am truly honored and humbled by the response to it … thank you so very much!”.

Connie Kis has had a tremendous start to the year having recently been awarded;

‘Best West Australian Female Artist 2011‘ at the Go for 2 & 5 WA Country Music Awards held in Boyup Brook, Western Australia in February. She also took home two songwriter awards, one for the single ‘Steamy Dreams’ and the other she took runner-up for her track ‘My Time Again’.

STEAMY DREAMS has also made the voting list for the APRA ‘Song of the Year 2010’ – a remarkable achievement considering the track was only released to Australian Country Radio in November last year.
