If you like to spike your Smooth Jazz with soulful vocals from the likes of India.Arie, Maysa and Jill Scott, let me introduce you to Gina Carey. Those who know this talented songbird may recall her going by the name Gina Green before she married urban soul guitarist John Carey. Her newest album, MELODIC, is an expressive collection of ten original compositions written, arranged and produced by Gina with the exception of one tune, which was composed by John. These are songs about love, life and a higher consciousness… and of course you’ll find a song or two here inspired by her handsome husband. Gina’s silky smooth vocals and positive, loving lyrics help create a feel good musical environment that blends old school grooves with nu jazz vibes. This is an exciting year for the Careys as they embark on two new releases (one each) on their own GICO recording label!

As a fan of the former Gina Green, I have been waiting patiently for the arrival of her latest album ‘Melodic’ and I can announce here and now that I love it!
Blessed with a sweet, soulful vocal style Gina, showcases her talents on this very personal album . Sharing her thoughts and feelings quite openly displaying her spiritual side on tracks such as, ‘Dont you give up’, life is more and A change. It is apparent that Gina is talking from the heart and it is no more apparent than when she talks to her husband John, through ‘Loving you’ 
Opening up with 'Red Hat' you just know that Gina is on top form before she moves on to my personal favourite 'Unbelievable', which floats delicately like a leaf on the breeze. Gina’s vocal s are wrapped around every note and combined with the dreamy production, it has me constantly reaching for the replay button. Fans will not be disappointed with ‘Melodic’ and I for one feel that this may just be a defining moment in Gina's ascendency to even higher things. Marvellous !!
