“Melanie, You are soooooo talented it is scary...and I mean scary in a great way! Your voice is amazing- the songs sound completely world class when it comes to production and musicianship - and I think you wrote some amazing lyrics. LOOK OUT! If there was a way to buy stock in your career- I'd be buying and telling all my friends to do the same- so please understand that I am a HUGE fan... and that I completely believe you have all the talent you need- and then some- to write "hit" songs. Keep doing what you are doing style wise Melanie... and keep up the fantastic work!"”
“Highly-adventurous with respect to melody/overall musicality, with jazz-influenced changes and an intelligently-crafted lyric. I really like the title and its metaphor. Very professionally-produced with a high quality level of musicianship and vocal prowess apparent.”
“I'm immediately smitten with your voice, which sounds incredibly expressive.”
“You have a great voice Melanie. I have NEVER heard anyone do the motorboat sound with their mouth in a song before...and it was surprisingly well done here! You have some obvious talent as a singer performer and writer. You have all the talent you need to be very successful.”
“Confident , dramatic, theatrical lead vocal delivery and personal vision woven into this descriptive narrative. The intensity of your performance is a highlight here... oh and "Melanie Edwards, commands the attention of her listeners, captivating them with her haunting vocals, intricate compositions and songbird melodies"...OK! We believe you.”
“Melanie - you have some well written lyrics and melodies. The chorus stands out from the verses and is memorable both lyrically and melodically. You have a cool sounding voice with a distinctive and appealing style. The vocals have a lot of emotion and is very believable. The musicianship is solid - the track is tight and there are some interesting parts.”
“Just so you know. it tickles me down that I can go to Amazon Mp3, Download your track while Im going about my business......Now Thats what i call "coloring" outside the lines!!!! Good Job Mel!!!”
"Congrats on the release, great song!!!"
"Simply amazing. Tis true."
"What a stunning voice Melanie Edwards has. [Who's Gonna Color in the Middle?] really reaches deep to those internal emotional chords we all have!
"[Who's Gonna Color in the Middle?] is so great. so well polished. love the choir. it's your best single to date. mad props to you, and everyone involved!"
"We downloaded the tunes and put them on our beach mix for next week :) thanks in advance for your contribution to the memories chica!"
"I downloaded the album and LOVE it! Well done!"
"Just got your album from iTunes. And now I have a new favorite album!!!"
"Absolutely wonderful music, Cheers! ( it's great to find new and different music, experimental is fantastic.)"
"As a musician, I’m always interested in hearing about the creative process. Enjoyed the musical sample too- great stuff. I love what Melanie said about viewing it as a musical lab, experimenting with sound. I’ve always been fascinating in translating colors to tones. Always wondered what exactly different pieces of music looked like for people with synesthesia too…"
"I’m very happy for Mellie. I love the songs and, as a musician myself, there’s nothing better than being a channel for musical inspiration. Live long and prosper Mellie Mel!"
"Love the album but for the life of me, I can't figure out why I end up with a new favorite song every time I listen to it."
"I posted Daniel's lane on my page... I think it is my favorite but it is a hard choice. I like them all. Hope you see you when you go on tour...I am really into the concept of the lab, and how you have combined your love for music and science. Super creative! I am excited to one day meet you in person, and am happy to be a supporter of your music... besides the fact that I really like it :) I am such an advocate for strong women living out dreams! Keep ROCKIN!"
"Loved your performance. You are one multi-talented chick, best of luck with the Southern tour."
“I always knew you could grind out the piano and violin, but I didn't know you had that voice. Everybody that came to the show with me thought you were incredible. It really was the highlight of our night. "Sugar" has been stuck in my head today and I have been belting it out all day long.”
"You are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! I love your songs! Climbed inside of me...truly fabulous!"
