"Happy to be here. Been down for too long and I'm so happy to sing you this song." Soulful lyrics put forward by former Pussycat Doll Melody Thornton in the Intro to her newly debuted mixtape 'P.O.Y.B.L'. Echoed by 'The best is yet to come'. And she's not wrong.
The retro Cee-Lo Green inspired 'Sweet Vendetta' kicks things off as the 10 track project's only up-tempo track before moving into Melody's haunting take on Jay Z and Kanye's track 'No Church In The Wild' for 'Lipstick & Guilt'.
Enter the Kill Billesque 'Smoking Gun' heading straight into guitar driven country ballad 'Loving You Better'. Showcasing a softer, more melodic sound to the Don't Cha singer's vocal catalog. A ballad worthy of Beyonce herself. Neatly followed by tongue-in-cheek tell-tale narrative 'Crazy Mixed Girl.'
Paving the way for old-school Jazz affair 'The One That Got Away' packed full to the brim with soul and all things vintage fun. Followed up by the sensational 'Bulletproof' featuring Bobby Newberry. Vocals blend perfectly on the pair's mellowed, acoustic rendition. Their take on the smash hit electro-pop track by La Roux. Its actually a little tear inducing if I'm being totally honest.
'Someone To Believe' is the mixtape's haunting operatic epic. Leading to the closing number. The phenomenal 'Hit The Ground Runnin'. Empowering and emotional to say the least. Fingers crossed for a single release on this one guys.
"Your success is not determined by my demise. I'm here to take what was rightfully mine." Yep. Lead vocals bitches! Melody Thornton has arrived!
P.O.Y.B.L is authentic. Real. Emotional and a consistent listen from start to finish with effort, hard work and determination sounding out from every single lyric. Then there's the voice. No more needs said.
Standout tracks: Sweet Vendetta. Lipstick & Guilt. Bulletproof and Hit The Ground Runnin'. Melody Thornton is set to perform on Thatgrapejuice's sister show Splash on Thatgrapejuicetv. Melody's mixtape 'P.O.Y.B.L' is available for free download via www.melodythornton.com
