Melissa told Indie Music Discovery in the US, “I’ve had an amazing experience recording my new album with Riversong Music at The Back 45. Andy and Scott are an incredibly synergistic duo in the studio. They’re not afraid to push the envelope and the entire creative process is inspiring. I have found my authentic voice and sound.”
The Bandcamp Diaries enthused, “Fallen Angel has a cool 70s throwback sound, which reminds me of artists like Fleetwood Mac. I love Melissa’s energetic vocals and the overall cohesion of the instrumental track!”
The Red Carpet Living blog said, “In a world riddled with destruction, when something pure comes along – you feel it in every pore of your fibre. Because purity and the really good stuff – is translucent. Just like Eden. Her voice is like milk and honey on the radio waves of empty rasp, forced empowerment, and seductive allure.”
Dave Franklin from Dancing About Architecture quotes “Pop doesn’t have to be a dirty word, not if it is done properly, and I have to say that Melissa Black knows how to do pop properly. The Eden Project, her latest 5 track album, is all the proof that you should need. She manages to distil the genre down to its essentials – deft and infectious songwriting, addictive beats, supple and subtle melodies and more hooks than a Peter Pan theme night. And what she leaves behind is just as important for here you won’t find any pop-cliches, zeitgeist friendly gimmickry or nods to fad and fashion. This is what pop music used to be and can be again.”
“The title track Eden is a gentle, lilting slice of gorgeousness, Rainbow is a gossamer light shimmering piece and Red Blood Moon even introduces some darker, brooding tones into its clever sonic layering. A great reminder that pop music can be smart, lyrically astute and, most of all, mature.” Dave Franklin from Dancing About Architecture
“Melissa Black makes the listener use all their senses to hear, see, smell, feel, and even taste the music and experience vivid imaginations of an engulfing and enriching natural world in all its depth and splendor. Through her music the artist creates that spark moment when the sensing mind quiets and overtakes the thinking mind. Melissa Black radiates with love and shares that enthusiasm with her audience, for her work is impossible to ignore – and provides confirmation, if it’s needed, that her impact on the music world is very far from tiny.” Music Review: Melissa Black – The Eden Project XTTRAWAVE
“Comprised of five blissful tracks that are infused with positive vibes and a stirring message, The Eden Project is one offering that sets the work of Melissa Black in a world of its own, our world. The Eden Project has a great organic sound, which results from its amazing measures of piano, guitar, and strings.” Warlock Asylum International News
“Singer/songwriter Melissa Black’s latest EP, The Eden Project is upbeat and refreshing. Melissa’s sound is peppy, charming and bright. Spiritually uplifting. Melissa’s voice really has a lot going for it. It’s very clear and expressive. The Eden Project is a very pure work of art that will leave listeners with a good feeling” Stepkid
“Everything about Melissa Black’s five-song EP The Eden Project shouts, ‘Serious artist!’ Melissa is a strong female voice, which is something today’s music scene just doesn’t have enough of right now. She hearkens back to the singer/songwriters of yesteryear.” Skopemag
