Notable Reviews “Discovering and working with Melanie Dekker matches the excitement I experienced with other ‘new’ female artists including Tracy Chapman and Tori Amos.” David Kershenbaum “Her immense talent and strong songwriting abilities make her stand out in a crowd.” Alternative News, Boston “Dekker’s voice can be both powerful and sensual, and full of life and hunger. It emotes. The night was solid with a hint of folk rock, hooky pop melodies and driving rhythm.” Music critic, Munich, Germany "A truly talented artist today needs to have a great look and a great hook to get to the eyes and ears of music lovers. Melanie Dekker has both attributes in abundance. Listen to "I Haven't Even Kissed You Yet" a few times and you'll find yourself, like I have, playing it again and again in your mind."
