Album Notes

Catchy and melodic pop tunes from an intellectual and sensitive lyricist.

From classic cars, to cappuccino girls through issues of sexuality, addiction and deja vu at the grocery store, this album delivers insight and satire with a one-two pop punch.

"the vocal clout of ten Alanis Morissettes" - REQUEST Magazine

"Jane Doe" and "Built For Comfort Not Speed" Featured in the motion picture "Chasing Indigo" featuring the Indigo Girls (Rollerloon Productions 2002)

REVIEWS

Great!
author: Bruce
This CD came out in 1999, but I only discovered it in Dec. of 2005, and it's one of the best CDs I bought all year. Excellent songwriting and a beautiful voice, with a certain vulnerability, but never 'cutesy' like Juliana Hatfield. The closest comparison I can think of is Tanya Donnelly, but Melany Joy Beck's voice grows on you even more!

Like A Breath of Fresh Air
author: Dilenger
Beck sounds like she keeps her approach to music simple, and it works. she knocks people to the floor with this record. who would think that a little UP girl could take the world by storm with her beautiful, elegant songs. this record is a hit, there is no geting around it. Beck nails it on the record. Check her out!
