Mel’s countdown to love covers the musical branches of r&b, neo soul, southern soul, reggae, blues elements of jazz. The entire show is knitted
together with lots and lots of soul and true, heartfelt emotion. All the tracks sing of feelings everyone experiences the world over, not least the musicians behind these powerful songs: loneliness, heartbreak, having a crush on someone, lust, love for a child, love for a woman, love for a man, getting it on, going for it, falling in love, falling out of love. . . and who better on earth to express those feelings any more eloquently, happily, painfully than Donny, Aretha, Mavis Staples, Winehouse, Tyrone and Co . . . . . ?
