Makenzie Phipps newest single Life Gives You Love gives us hope that we can find love and when we do, just take it and run with it! It came to me at a great time in my life when my boyfriend just ended our 2 year relationship. I could not have asked for better timing with this song. So glad you choose this song Makenzie to record and I had the opportunity to hear it. Please do purchase this new song for your playlist…really give it a listen. Tell all your friends to download it and ask them tell all their friends as well. Judy Shields, The Hollywood Times
