Mel Strong - Uptown Lady

Review by Tahi Hoera

Mel Strong's latest album, Uptown Lady, is a soulful and captivating collection of songs that showcases her powerful vocals and impressive songwriting skills. From the opening track "Uptown Lady," which sets the tone for the album with its funky groove and catchy chorus, to the bluesy ballad "When Love Comes Knocking," which showcases Strong's emotional range and vulnerability, this album is a must-listen for fans of R&B, soul, and blues.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Can't Keep a Good Woman Down," which features a driving beat and empowering lyrics that celebrate Strong's resilience and determination. Another highlight is "Love Is a Dangerous Game," a slow-burning ballad that explores the complexities of relationships and the risks we take when we open our hearts to love.

Throughout the album, Strong's vocals are backed by a talented band that includes horns, keyboards, and guitar, creating a rich and dynamic sound that perfectly complements her soulful voice. The production is polished and professional, but still retains a raw energy and authenticity that makes it feel like you're listening to a live performance.
