Burlington songstress Melissa Bel embraces her inner pop diva on her latest album, In the Light. Unlike other similar artists, she's not sacrificing soul and melody to do so. It's an amazing, tasty blend of modern sounds with old-fashioned goodness stirred in.
Her voice takes charge of every single song and imbues it with soul, power, fragility or whatever else it needs. Melissa takes on many vocal roles and does an incredible job with all of them. The result is a fabulous album with a surprise on every track.
You can pick the CD up at her rare live shows (she spend a lot of time in the UK now) or via her online shop. It can also be downloaded through iTunes and eMusic.
