Melissa McClelland's Biography
On June 30th, Melissa McClelland will release her third studio album, Victoria Day, on Six Shooter Records. With fervent vocals and detailed narratvies McClelland brings her seductive bluesy gems to life, painting pictures throughout the album that are both vivid and rich with emotion. With a stunning vocal performance by Ron Sexmith on the gentle "Seasoned Lovers" and produced by husband Luke Doucet, Victoria Day is like a roadmap tracing the veins of a country one could only dream of visiting.
Amidst the loves we leave and seek, there are songs pointing to the stars and arms reaching through the blackout. We rest easy knowing that soon the sky will be filled with burning lights, our eyes brimming with wonder. Suddenly, from out of the past, a voice leans into the May wind with a heartful of harmony: “Today is Victoria Day.”
Melissa McClelland returns with her highly anticipated third album, Victoria Day. Produced by husband Luke Doucet, her Six Shooter Records debut finds McClelland deeply in touch with a sense of melody and wordplay that rivals any of her contemporaries.
Like a roadmap tracing the veins of a country one can only dream of visiting, Victoria Day is both seductive and compelling. “Glenrio” invites us to a rusty locale where one can only leave with bloody knuckles. Snow falls slowly over the gentle “Seasoned Lovers,” which also features a stunning vocal performance by Ron Sexsmith. McClelland’s virtuosity as a lyricist is best illustrated in “When the Lights Went Off In Hogtown,” which immortalizes the Toronto blackout of 2003 with a playful and surreal command of imagery. Victoria Day is a work constituted of anthems and odes, of harlequins and hymnals, penned by a quiet poet in a corner of the bar. The songs rendered on this recording extend their hands and lean against the May wind as though the world were their shoulder. “Today is Victoria Day,” they say. “Enjoy yourselves.”
