▓░░█ ░ RELEASE NOTES ▄▄▄▄▀▀▀
░ █ ▀ ▀▀ ▀▀▀▀▀▀ █
█ Imagine a long car ride through a humid, small, █
█ southern town. Sweet smell of honeysuckle █
█ tickling your nose just as the dirty-orange dust █
█ from the road settles on your skin. You are lost, █
█ but an unseen force pulls and tugs you along. █
█ Battered porches and bent rocking chairs ground █
█ you. Leather hands and creased faces of the past █
█ define your existence. You are found. You are █
█ home. You were, after all, ôJust Up The Roadö. █
█ █
█ On her debut CD, ôJust Up The Roadö, Melissa █
█ YoungÆs sweet, soulful tone tickles your nose and █
█ rest in your soul like sweet honeysuckle on a hot █
█ summerÆs day. This freckled face songstress █
█ draws from her rich, southern roots to bring █
█ forth a delectable blend of soul, funk, and R&B █
█ grooves that take you back, but yet remains █
█ totally of the moment. Musical critics around █
█ the world praised YoungÆs pre-released single █
█ ôMad At Myselfö and are highly anticipating her █
█ debut release on SugaShack Music this year. █
█ Blues and SoulÆs Paddy Grady raves ôMs. Young has █
█ a superb, soulful voice that is just right for █
█ todayÆs modern sceneö. From the first cut on the █
█ album, ôRock with Meö, Young grabs you with a █
█ ôreminds me of somethingö type groove. But its █
█ originally Melissa and it reminds you of a █
█ simpler time when all music was this tasty. Next █
█ comes the debut single ôMr. Shonuffö. On this █
█ drum driven track, Young coyly speaks to the man █
█ that has it all together. The man sheÆs heard █
█ about, and dreams of one day meeting. She does █
█ this very well by blending, a catchy, sing-along █
█ hook with smooth, soul piercing harmonies. The █
█ track, ôChinese Tortureö, is not your typical █
█ ôyou did me wrongö song, just check the title. █
█ The lyrics are potent and thought provoking. █
█ Young compares the pain of loving someone to █
█ torture in a Chinese prison. The emotion of █
█ YoungÆs voice rides like a deep wave rippling █
█ across the ocean of your soul. The music █
█ commands that you sit back, be still, and let it █
█ wash over you. Further into the project now, █
█ ôItÆs About Youö is a catchy track about unfading █
█ love that Young penned with soul crooner, Anthony █
█ Hamilton. When asked about her favorites on the █
█ album Young says, ôAll of the songs are close to █
█ my heartàbut two of my favorites are ôJust A █
█ Girlö and ôYouÆll Never Knowö. ôJust A Girlö is █
█ my ôI like me, take me as I amö song. ItÆs my █
█ anthem to me. On ôYouÆll Never Knowö I was █
█ contemplating how we, as human beings, take love █
█ for granite and we never really know if and when █
█ it will come around again.ö Young even serves up █
█ a dose of inspiration on the tracks ôBe Thereö █
█ and the title track ôJust Up The Roadö, on which █
█ her father lends his Sam Cooke like tone. █
█ All-and-all, listeners will be quietly escorted █
█ through a colorful journey and it is sure to be a █
█ treat to the ears, and the soul. Ms. Young gets █
█ up close and personal and itÆs hard not to be █
█ drawn into the soulful-poetic life experiences █
█ that she so vividly sings about. When blessed █
█ with the pleasure of meeting Melissa Young, do █
█ not mistake her for just another whimsical █
█ artist. No, this young lady boasts brains and █
█ beauty. Young very seldom discusses it, but she █
█ is also an accomplished filmmaker and touts a █
█ M.F.A from the number one film school in the █
█ country, NYU. ThatÆs right, there is so much █
█ more behind those dark freckles, on that █
█ mysterious face. Young spent her early years in █
█ Greenville, South Carolina, she started her own █
█ singing group at the age of 15. In 1999, █
█ resolved to expand on her love of music, Young █
█ lent background vocals to several artists, █
█ including reggae singer Ky-mani Marley, son of █
█ the legendary Bob Marley. These days Melissa can █
█ be found burning up the stages of her new home █
█ Atlanta and other cities across the country. Her █
█ album, "Just Up The Road", is set for release in █
█ 2008 as one of SugaShack Music's debut projects. █
█ █
█ █
█ █
█ █
█ "Just Up The Road" is symbolic of the journey █
█ Young has traveled thus far in her life. ôAt █
█ times,ö she says, ôI feel like I am on this long █
█ country road, pit stopping in small towns along █
█ the way. Each time that I get back on the road, █
█ I've learned something new to carry with me. █
█ Sometimes I'm a little lost, but I never stop █
█ looking for my destination. I know however hard █
█ or challenging, what I am looking for is right up █
█ the road, so I keep going. Just when I feel I've █
█ gone too far or missed my stop, I look up and █
█ what I am looking for is right there, where itÆs █
█ supposed to beàin front of me, Just Up the Road.ö █
