Melián seems to be an artist to reckon with.

Michaela Melián uses a variety of instruments including a violoncello to
create the calm and atmospheric grooves for this cd. The songs were made to
accompany one of her exhibits as an visual artist, but they stand on their
own as well.

“Verkehr” is a track that could easily be on the soundtrack to a thriller.
Her closing cover of Roxy Music’s “A song for Europe” is a standout, her
very European voice lamenting a crumbling love affair as the tempo slowly
rises to a dramatic pitch.

arial h font”There’s no more time for us-nothing is there for us to share
but yesterday” are the words that close this record on a bittersweet note.
