Due to her unique range, writing style, and style of delivery; Melanie Hersch has appeal that spans country, folk, rock and pop.
Her lyrics, sung with refreshingly intimate honesty, contain such immediately meaningful metaphors as "Rivers of regret run deep in my bones" - the feelings of an errant young bride-to-be in her balad, Orion; and , In a Resting Place, she sings, "throw my arms around my weakness, flood myself with gentleness". With her throaty, yet beautifully melodic voice, that just down right haunts you, she addicts you to her music - while warming you with her big smile, big friendly eyes, and ocassional country "Yee-Hee".
Melanie Hersch's music mesmerizes you.
If you have a streak of country, alt-country, or folk music lover in you, you should enjoy this music.
