“Deeply personal songs.”
—The New York Times

“Melissa Giges won herself a devoted fan base when she released her debut album (Evident) a while back. And now, after having her music featured on several national television shows, her latest album is bound to fan the flames of her career even higher. Just When I Let Go features ten well written and well arranged modern pop songs with a heavy emphasis on vocal melodies and lyrics. These songs are layered with just the right ingredients and Melissa’s vocals are exceptional throughout. If you love keyboard-based pop and appreciate genuinely talented ladies in the world of music, you won’t do much better than this.” —BabySue.com

“Native New Yorker Melissa Giges is extraordinary as a songwriter . . . So many tracks have ‘hit’ written between the lines.”
—Women’s Rising Music

10. Weird Fishes/Arpeggi (Digital Bonus Track) (4:03)

Press

“Unhand Me, You Fiend! jumps between folky, Jeff Buckley-esque ballads, minor-key raucous indie-guitar workouts and, errr, a Radiohead cover (that’s actually quite great!) . . . It seems the work of a single, quirky mind with a lot of time on its hands—and it’s a joy to listen to.”
—eMusic

**** (Four Stars) “. . . an almost perfect album . . . a stylish and at times complex pop journey . . . contemporary pop at its very best. Just listen to the tracks ‘Give Your Enemies a Chance to Rest’ and opening track ‘Sold Out Bargain’ and you will understand . . . Cool pop in a slightly odd and very personal style, this is a must album.”
—Melodic.net

Track Listing

01. The Copier (4:36)
02. Clean Bird (8:21)
03. Down Size (6:08)

Press

“Storytelling with beautiful, lush, guitar-underpinned music.”
—NME

“The dancers periodically sweep across the stage as one, just as the lights sweep overhead like the advancing bar of a copy machine . . . Both have a dehumanizing effect, but just as Mr. Poe injects pockets of hopeful longing into passages of insistent hubbub, Ms. Johnson finds ways to emphasize the lovely fragility of the individual.”
—The New York Times
