visceral yet accessible, this album will make you feel everything she sings about. Even if you don't share any of the same experiences, Mel Stone will weave you her stories, show you a life that's finally worth living, drag you to the edge of despair, then give you something to hope for, before making you want to feel it all over again. Even when you're not always in the mood for the vibe, the songs will stick with you and you'll think about them forever. Cannot recommend highly enough.
