Hey Girl

I found this album to be a fun experience to listen to. I was quite amazed when I read later that such beautiful music came from someone as young and for a first try even more so.

I found it to be put together very well indeed. The melodies flow with ease. Aside from the popish Hey Girl, I found the remaining songs quite appealing. They are bit slower in tempo and add additional instruments. The piano takes shares the lead with the guitar and backed up by what I believe to be a xylophone and flute or piccolo in the background, that help give them additional depth and variety.

The vocals were done very well. Whereas the vocals in the english version of Hey Girl may not be Mélissa's forte they are done quite well none the less given they aren't her native tongue. In regard to some comments I have read about using english, I would say that the addition of english songs is welcome but certainly not required. I may not be able to understand the words, but I can appreciate thier intent in the musical sense (as a musical intrument)and if they come across better in an artists native tongue so be it, because it is what works.

The feline gives this one a full 10 pawpad rating!

I love this album, especially the name giving song 'Hey Girl'. I think, Mel has a beautiful voice and I just wait for the next songs, if here or at stores doesn't matter for me.

This is really just a really good pop album. Unfortunatly, I fail to find what makes Mel's better than other pop performances.

I think I would have raised the score a point or two if the songs would be in english - somehow, pop songs really improve when you hear the lyrics (that's what I think after listening to Hey Girl in both french and english, anyway)

However, the english version of Hey Girl is a really, really good song!

I'm not saying this is bad in any way, Mel's just need a little bit more edge, and a few more english songs.

Excellent album in toto. I think its purely professional stuff.Did you make the music as well?
Very soothing, free flowing....

I would love to listen to such music when driving or whengoing on a mission to accomplish something....:)

I was shocked when I saw how many, have listened to this album, let alone download it, as well. I was thinking no way, for this type of music, but glad to say I was wrong. I can fully understand, why now... her voice is so sweet and tender and suits this type of music, the lyrics are nice and the songs are very catchy, along with the great music. But most of all. I really enjoyed listening to Mel and her music. Cheers Mel :)


now I understand why she is so popular..
