This song was recently penned and completed in early October 2014.  Another combined effort from Melissa James and Ross Lorraine it gives a little taste of what is to come from the songwriting duo and from Melissa on the album that will follow her 2012 release, Day Dawns.

CAROUSEL OF LIFE

Taken from a performance at The Pheasantry, in Chelsea, in February 2015, this is a live recording of an original song to feature on Melissa's next album.  Featuring Arthur Lea on piano and Nick Pini on bass.

Hey There, Where Are You Going

A beautiful track to record.  A rough recording of this Joe Cocker song feat. Ross Lorraine on piano.

You Are So Beautiful

"Stripped Back: Live Sessions" is to be the new mini album release from soulful singer, Melissa James from which this track, "Troubled", is taken.  A follow-up to her 2012 release, Day Dawns, this recording features a collection of candid tales in which Melissa's vulnerability is laid bare through her voice and lyrics with just guitar and piano as backing. 

"Stripped Back" is to release in early 2016.

Live Again

Live Again (2017 Charity Version)

This track is taken from my upcoming album, Day Dawns, due for release this summer.  

I Miss You

Day Dawns is a truly exceptional debut album from Melissa James, a singer-songwriter who has, for some time, been causing a stir at her live shows and attracting a steady stream of followers, entranced by her earthy, soulful sound.  

Think Lizz Wright meets Amos Lee as they cross paths with blues man, Eric Bibb and you’d be getting very close.  Fusing her love of blues, folk and jazz in a bundle of soul, her songs take you on mini detours, opening you up to the sometimes raw elements of her innermost thoughts.  Combined with the velvety power through which she delivers, expect a performance which will leave your spine tingling.  


“…great late night listening, this lady is certainly worth checking out.”  (Blues Matters!, August/September 2012)
