Don't Save Me

What do you get when you make a trio out of Joan Baez, Joan Jett & Pat Benatar. Favourite part at 2.33mins.

Have had these 3 sisters on my iTunes for awhile now... charting their progress. And they are most definitely gonna take off in 2013.

Hello Haim.

Latest release - Don't Save Me

OK so I've fallen in love again...

This reminds me so much of Kelis' ACAPELLA and Beyonce's WHO RUN THE WORLD And watching the 'making of' and the 'behind the scenes' is really making me miss shooting a music video.... Come one Melissa, get your arse in gear - this year calls for my new album and some hot new videos! Without a doubt my favourite two videos by Rihanna to date, EVER, are this one and WE FOUND LOVE. They are both incredibly emotive and represent perfect story-telling with superb editing, choreography and styling.

Lana Forever

Think the styling and reminiscent sound of a female Chris Isaac with the sentiment of David Lynch's Twin Peaks.

Perfect pop to my ears.



Favourite track has gotta to be THIS IS WHAT MAKES US GIRLS



Check out new video for BLUE JEANS



Get the album NOW and YES I do have a massive crush on her and YES I have already blogged about her here

Am so so sure she's gonna be a cult success. Shy yet sultry, she is a natural talent with a strong vision and and even stronger ambition.

Reverend Obama Green?

Love this. Reminds me how important it is to take happy 'risks'.

Laughter is such a wonderful gift :)

On Repeat....



If you haven't got the album - GET IT. Great story telling, classy slick productions that combine a retro vibe without sounding dated.

Stand out tracks for me are the title track Born To Die, Off to the Races, Dark Paradise, Blue Jeans and the brilliant This Is What Makes Us Girls.

First single Video Games is nothing in comparison to a lot of the other tracks on the album.

This one's a keeper - kinda how I felt first time I heard Adele and Ellie Goulding.

She reminds me of Kate Bush and Tori Amos mixed up in a bag with Nancy Sinatra.

Unique and interesting.

A day of favourite things.....

Happy Valentine's

Fear



Fear is what holds us back the most. Embrace it and let it inspire you :)

F.E.A.R.

FEAR
A paralysing emotional condition.
If you love YOURSELF, let it go

For each a road
For everyman a religion
Find everybody and rule
For everything and rumble
Forget everything and remember
For everything a reason
Forgive everybody and remember

For each a road
For everyman a religion
Face everybody and rule
For everything and rumble
Forget everything and remember
For everything a reason

You got the fear
You got the fear
You got the fear
You got the fear
You got the fear
F.E.A.R.
F.E.A.R.
F.E.A.R.
F.E.A.R.

Final eternity arouses reactions
Freeing excellence affects reality
Fallen empires are ruling
Find earth and reap

Fantastic expectations
Amazing revelations
Final execution and resurrection
Free expression as revolution
Finding everything and realizing

You got the fear
You got the fear
You got the fear
You got the fear
You got the fear
F.E.A.R. (You got the fear)
F.E.A.R. (You got the fear)
F.E.A.R. (You got the fear)
F.E.A.R. (You got the fear)

Fantastic expectations
Amazing revelations
Finding everything and realizing
For everything a reason

F.E.A.R. (You got the fear)
F.E.A.R. (You got the fear)
F.E.A.R. (You got the fear)
F.E.A.R. (You got the fear)
You got the fear
You got the fear
You got the fear
You got the fear

Me at 7atenine - Launching Heineken "Sessions"

Woooohoooooo! My first gig of 2012 and it's an acoustic-esque band show. It has been more than a year since I played with a band and I am super excited about this as I will also be playing at a different venue to which I have grown accustomed too (those of you who have come to my last few gigs will know that they have all been at No Black Tie).

7AteNine will be the venue for a new series of LIVE music sponsored by Heineken called "SESSIONS" and I get to launch it :).

I've come up with a sort of 'theme' for the evening and will be playing all sorts for u, radio hits classic and current, original material of old as well as new and unheard as well as some unreleased and never to be released material. This is pretty much exclusive to this date at 7atenine!

So please note that this is NOT a DJ Gig but me playing with a band, what I love to do most of all.

Here are the official details:

The launch of SESSIONS will feature Behind The Lights with Melissa Indot and is an up close and personal musical journey. Melissa’s lithe frame belies a commanding presence that exudes confidence through her powerful voice. This award winning lover of eclectic musical tastes will debut an Unseen & Undone performance which includes yet to be released new songs plus some famous covers done acoustic style. Supported by a 4 piece band & 2 back up vocals, SESSIONS is slated to sizzle and dazzle.

This inaugural session is at 8.30pm, Saturday 14 January 2011 and tickets are priced at RM100++ for a 2 course dinner and show or RM50 for show only, both of which include a bottle of Heineken.

Kindly contact Fida 012-2103055 / 03 2161 7789 with tickets available at 7atenine before and on event day.

Address: Ascott Kuala Lumpur, No.9, Jalan Pinang, 50450, Kuala Lumpur
