Melissa Polinar Presents the Demo of “My Dear”

Ms Melissa Polinar makes a return with the unveiling of this demo version of an upcoming track called “My Dear” that she contributed to a friend’s project. Since it’s a demo, it’s just a tad unpolished but the girl sounds as good as ever on this piano driven piece. The singer/songwriter has a knack for adding just the right touch of jazzy influences to her raspy vocals to give any song a distinct flavor. Look for the final version in December! In the mean time, this one is a free DL so get it via bandcamp after the break.

My friend Jeff Bernat requested if I could write a song for a project he’s recording (about to be released Dec. 1) few months back. This is the song that I came up with and his version will be out soon (so check it out when it does!). This track is the demo track I did but I also added more background vocals. So yes, it’s yours for free! Go download it NOW! Shout out to J Cowell for playing the keys and co-creating this song with me.

Melissa Polinar Re-Releases “I’m Ready”

Texas darling Melissa Polinar may have first shared this song in 2008 but it’s now available for purchase in a re-tooled and polished form.

This time around it’s complete with harmonies and better quality… but we still need a studio version! But until then, this version can be yours for a paltry dollar via the bandcamp widget below.

The All-Female Youtube Cover Round-Up – 8/13/11

Here we go folks. Just in time for the weekend we have another Youtube cover round-up with today’s common criteria being this is an all female affair. That’s right, there’s nary a Y chromosome in this batch – so what does that present us with? We have the return of Kina Grannis, a pair of songs by Jenny Suk, Cate Song doing Beyonce unplugged, and a couple of collabs by Megan Lee/Shin-B and Nessa Rica/Melissa Polinar. Check them all about below and after the break!

*Note: It’s kind of interesting to see “Uncharted” and “Best Thing I Never Had” have an eerily similar chord progression.

[Live Performance] Melissa Polinar – “This Road” on MYX TV

I’m loving these clips that MYX TV has been producing. This one is of a live performance by the one and only Melissa Polinar singing her song “This Road” – a smooth acoustic number with a slight bluesy twinge. The song is off her EP As of Now released late last year. The girl puts so much heart and soul into her music, I can dig it! Can’t wait to see what MYX releases online next.
