Melody Pool arrived on the Australian music scene with 2013’s The Hurting Scene, which The Australian declared Album of the Year, with the late-great music critic Iain Shedden calling it “one of the most accomplished debuts by an Australian singer-songwriter for many years”.
Rolling Stone hailed her voice as “sublime”, while The Herald Sun’s Cameron Adams described Melody’s music as “beautiful and passionate but not dumbed-down for easy digestion”.
After her acclaimed second album, 2016’s Deep Dark Savage Heart, Melody Pool retreated. She shared her battle with depression in a powerful episode of the ABC’s Australian Story, revealing she needed time away, to find out who she was without music.
Melody discovered that the music came from deep within. “Now I do music because I need to,” she says. “And I love it.”
