Melanie Brulée is a bilingual singer/songwriter originally from Cornwall, Ontario. She spent much of her 20s living in Australia, where she first picked up a guitar and developed an interest in singing and songwriting. She came back to Canada and quickly established herself on stages and at festivals across Canada and in the United States. She’s got two full-length albums out, a French-language album called Débridée, which came out in 2015, and an English language album, Fires, Floods, and Things We Leave Behind, which came out in 2018. As you’ll hear in our interview, after some intense touring and hard work promoting that album, Melanie found herself burned out and questioning the direction she was headed in. A step away from music allowed her to focus on other areas of interest, including mental illness and mental health, which took on new importance for her after she learned, long after the fact, that her estranged father had taken his own life. This led her to learn more about mental illness and deal with mental health issues of her own. In conjunction with Mental Illness Awareness Week 2020, Melanie organized a series of conversations about mental health on Instagram Live and released a powerful song and video called “The Mess,” which is a take on an all-too-familiar inner struggle: a showdown between Anxiety and Depression, each fighting for power over its host, leaving THE MESS in the wake. This year, she released another powerful song and video relating to the topic, this time in French, called “Crier.” More information, videos, and music credits: https://wp.me/pdcjXL-83

Melanie Brulée (episode 26)

Toronto’s Melanie Brulée joins us on Episode 404 of Folk Roots Radio to chat about her great new Americana album “Fires, Floods &amp; Things We Leave Behind", a fabulous slice of pedal steel driven country music that comes equipped with its own widescreen spaghetti western like vibe to kick things off. It's a great conversation. I hope you’ll stick around for that. We also take a look at more of the new music we've received including new releases from Sarah MacDougall, Oliver The Crow, Melanie Dekker, Vishtèn, Ivan Rosenberg, Ken Tizzard, Lennie Gallant alongside a tribute to the sadly departed 'Swamp King' Tony Joe White.Check out the full playlist on the website: http://folkrootsradio.com/folk-roots-radio-episode-404-feat-melanie-brulee-more-new-releases/

Episode 404 - feat. Melanie Brulée & More New Releases

"Fires, Floods &amp; Things We Leave Behind", the great new album from Melanie Brulée, is a fabulous slice of pedal steel driven country music that comes equipped with its own widescreen spaghetti western like vibe to kick things off. Melanie Brulée is in fine voice on twelve tracks that reflect on relationships, loss and addiction while taking us back to the golden age of country music, and joined by some great players including pedal steel player Kevin "The General" Neal who brings much of the sound to the recording, with guitars from Champagne James Robertson (Lindi Ortega, New Country Rehab), Kyle Teixeira on bass and Adam Warner on drums. This is definitely not your average country album - and a recording you must check out. We caught up with Melanie Brulée in Toronto to chat about the new project. For more information about Melanie Brulée and upcoming tour dates, visit http://melaniebrulee.com. Photo credit: Emma-Lee Photography. Music: Melanie Brulée "I Will", "Pretty Wasteland" and "Whiskey &amp; Whine" from "Fires Floods &amp; Things We Leave Behind" (2018, Lapin Blanc).
