Concert Club w/ Mélat

Mélat has been on a roll lately: new album, solo shows at Pershing, work with local music mentorship program Kids in a New Groove’s girl-centric spinoff. At the tail end of summer, the R&B songstress showcases her rich discography, including the emotional waterfall that was last year’s Canon Metis. “Cuz the future ain’t promised. And the past has abandoned us. And the only thing we can trust is what’s in front of us,” Mélat says in Minnie Riperton-esque “The Now.” For those privy to her live shows, the sentiment makes sense when witnessing her pour every ounce of herself into each song. – Cy White
