"WHOT on a hot Miami morning, November 24, 2025, playin' the hottest hits with the hottest news and that was "Empatica" by Cumbia de Colombia, number 5 on our top 20 chart of hotties here at WHOT. This is Michelle Marlin gettin' you up on Monday morning. 

"Yeah, well, Monday morning . . . That's as bad as it can be anyway . . .  

"But come on, you can do it! 

"Anyway, here is a little light entertainment for you this morning: a surprising little girl, named The New Little Princess, is with us. She went viral last June with her 9th birthday party video, featuring four original songs and allegedly 'supersonic' piano playing . . . well, we'll see if she takes off this morning.

"She then pulled off another hit with her videopack  "Caribbean Princess", filmed on the beach at Livingston, Guatemala: the song you heard last August from it must have been 'Moon Kid'". 

"Finally, after she was a hit with her original 'Frijos Frijoles', at Pina Colada's Lincoln Park Fiesta in Los Angeles last September, Pina Colada signed The New Little Princess as their newest Latin star. 

"And you're still only nine years old, isn't that right, Princess?"

"Aye, and will be another nine months or so, I think,says the Princess.

"But what's it like for you, being a superstar at your age? I mean, do you ever get to play?" Michelle asks.

"Play? What's that?" the Princess says.

Michelle laughs.

"I remember I used to do it in Guatemala but I don't think I've played once since we moved to America last September, unless it were a piano or a synthesiser," says the Princess.

"But isn't that rough on you, at your age? Don't you miss it?" asks Michelle.

"If ya dunno' think about somethin', ya canno' miss it," says the Princess. "I just always have to be somewhere, doin' somethin' and that's wha' I am thinkin' about. I'm no' sittin' there sayin' 'Oh, I wish I could be playin' or somethin'. Haven't got the time."

"And you've been touring early morning radio this month," Michelle says.

"Aye," says the Princess. "Every morning I'm somewhere else. We dunno' even go back to our house in Crummer Canyon anymore. Just stay in hotels ridin' the bullet from one town to the next. If it's Monday, this must be Florida."

"Got it, Princess!" says Michelle. "Good guess. Well, I guess, as the Chinese say, Little Princess, you live 'in interesting times'. Now, you have a new song for us?"

"Aye," says the Princess.

"Well, what's it called?" Michelle says.

"Freedom To Dream," says the Princess.

"And what's it about?" Michelle asks.

"Well, at first it was just I wanted Mummy to let me sleep longer," the Princess says, giggling. "But now I think it means somethin' different. Freedom for everyone to dream their future. Even the people of Guatemala."

"Yes, I know you've been fighting for your country through songs the past few months. But it's not even really your country, is it?" says Michelle.

"Well, I weren't born there, if that's wha' you mean. But 'tis my country now, 'cos I've been fightin' for it. And the last thing the Presidenta did before she died, on Independence Day, was to make me a citizen!" says the Princess.
