Got That Swing (And Then Some)

🎶 Got That Swing (And Then Some) is here! 🎶  

This original swing album was created to celebrate the release of Ain’t Misbehavin’, the final book in my Got That Swing romance series. Whether you're a swing dancer, a music lover, or a reader who’s followed Macie and the gang from book one—this one’s for you!

 

 I wrote and produced this album using Suno AI, an innovative music creation tool that helped bring my stories to life in a whole new format. While the voices and instrumentals are AI-generated, every lyric, concept, and direction came from me. Each song in the album is inspired by a moment, character, or theme from the Got That Swing book series—stories full of swing dancing, romance, courage, and community, all set in the vibrant city of Darwin, Australia. I created this album as a love letter to the swing community, and as a joyful send-off to the series that started with Baby, It’s Cold Outside and ends with Ain’t Misbehavin’, releasing July 15, 2025.

💃 Book-to-Song Inspiration Highlights:

Step Out On My Own — Inspired by Macie’s bold decision to leave her old life behind (Baby, It’s Cold Outside)

Doesn’t Mean Anything — When Macie moves to Darwin and finds love on the dance floor (Don’t Mean a Thing)

No Saints Here — A tender second-chance moment from Ain’t Misbehavin’

The last six tracks are a musical love letter to my time living in Darwin and dancing with Swing Dance NT, from steamy build-up season nights to dancing at Nightcliff Jetty and the The Railway Club.

Thanks for dancing through this journey with me. I hope you enjoy the music as much as I enjoyed creating it—and if it gets your toes tapping or inspires a swing-out in the kitchen, I’d love to hear about it!

✨ Share the album with a friend, pop on a track, and let the rhythm of Got That Swing (And Then Some) carry you away.

Happy listening (and reading)!
