"Melissa Payne’s “So Real” blends the metered and driven pop ballad format with her raw and vulnerable vocals, combining the contrasting forces to form a song that is simultaneously ethereal and grounded. Underneath the butter-smooth organ and incidental guitar licks, Payne chronicles her story with her now wife. One that is relatable to all: the one you love makes you feel safe, secure, and “so very real.”
Recorded at In Record Time through an Ampex MM1200: The same machine used to record Stevie Ray Vaughan “live at the El Mocambo” Blue Rodeo “5 days in May” and many others including a Leonard Cohen album.
