MELINA

ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM "REVIVAL"

AND EXCLUSIVE CONCERT ALBUM LAUNCH EVENT AT

CABARET LION D’OR 

OCTOBER 22nd, 2024

 



Montreal, QC, September 27th, 2024 – Following the release of her previous singles "Anchor" (April 2024) and "What About Now" (May 2024), along with her most recent lead single "Revival" (September 2024), Melina officially announces her upcoming album, "Revival." On October 22nd, this highly anticipated album will be celebrated with an exclusive performance by Melina. The album launch concert will take place at Cabaret Lion d’Or in Montreal on October 22nd, 2024.

 

Melina’s long awaited album is finally here; including the singles Anchor, What About Now and Revival, here comes the first complete album for the singer-songwriter carrying the name of her latest single, Revival. After working on the project for the past six years, Melina finally unravels her most vulnerable and personal work to date; Revival speaks of her twenties in a very powerful and authentic way, with a sound saluting her musical influences such as Sara Bareilles, Adele and Sam Smith. With the participation of renowned artists such as Kim Richardson and Dorian Sherwood in the choirs, Melina sets the bar high with this first album, coming with a high quality project that makes her stand out on the music scene.


"This is the album I have always dreamed of making; getting to record my songs in the most organic way, with arrangements that match exactly what I had in mind when writing them - I have had a lot of goosebumps and pinch-me moments throughout the project. I also went through a burn out in the midst of creating it and ironically enough, those songs are what revived my creative flame; it is my testament to my twenties, to all I have learned and overcome to become who I am as a woman and as an artist, and I could not be more grateful and proud of this album.’’ – Melina

 

Aiming for the international scene, Melina worked alongside producer Jacques Roy (Corey Hart, Dominique Fils-Aimé) to bring together an album with a timeless and international sound, powerful organic arrangements with a modern approach; an album that sets Melina on the list of artists to watch. Recorded at Studios OPUS, the artist joins her most heartfelt and powerful vocals yet to her most honest and vulnerable lyrics to date, with melodies that are as catchy as they are healing, making you wanting to hear the album time and time again.

 

In the weeks preceding the album release, Melina will launch the vinyl album pre-sale, revealing the album cover and track list.
