Elizabeth had the fabulous opportunity to sing in the studio as a featured artist in this gorgeous song by PPop. Here is a bit about the song:
"All over the world, property developers persuade people to leave their homes, breaking up communities for the sake of progress. Or profit.
They make a lot of promises. They probably don't keep them.
The sun soon goes down on Promise Street.
This song is about the people of East London who left their homes in the 20th Century to make way for the glass fortresses of finance."
