notes

Melanie Dekker is a spirited groovy chick who just wants to grab ya. She does so with heartbreak, heartache and a heart that is totally in love. Dekker is an awardwinning composer and a gutsy performer.  You're likely to catch her giggling in fun and sweating with enthusiasm at her shows. "Just Because" has a progressive pop sound which gives you a sweet and upbeat experience.

Melanie's unique guitar playing blends heavy rhythmic strokes and guitar body beats,."Wow you dont play like a girl" is something we hear all the time. Dekker's vocal style captures the depth of her songs with a cool combination of power and sensitivity.

"Just Because" contains the Canadian a/c top 40 radio hit "I Said I" . There is a casual, fresh and natural approach to Dekker's songs, which are warm and approachable like she is.

Musicians involved in this international release are a bunch of very cool dudes whos names you may already know! They are: Gerald O'Brien (Amanda Marshall), Jason Nett (Symphony composer), Dave Pickell (Top Gun, Bryan Adams), Mani Nassefat (he wont say!), Dino Dinicolo, Terry Paton (Supertonic), Chris Percy (Soul Decision), John Stoltz (Trooper), John Roles (Supertramp), Eric Reed (Tillers Folly), Brian Newcombe (Mariah Carey), Dennis Marcenko (K.D.Lang)...AWESOME!

And! Yes...if you like this one there is another release by Dekker via CDBABY! www.cdbaby.com/cd/dekker2

  • Takes Your Breath Away
    author: Bob

    Melanie's music is smoothe but daring. The lyrics are thoughtful, and her voice makes you want to never stop listening. All I can say is she is one of the most talented singer/songwriters I have seen.

  • Simply very good music!
    author: Dirk

    I like those kind of voice. She reminds me of Sheryl Crow. Not only because she looks like her. It´s also the lyrics and music of her songs that impresses me much. As I always said, it´s not the few famous persons who made good music. It´s the unknown that you need to look for. It´s simply very good music! And I hope to see her soon live playing in Germany.

  • All I have to say is "Fantastic"
    author: Scott Evans
