When Scott Mellis wrote me and requested, “Please stalk me, Rocker Stalker,” I was both honored and a little creeped out (Just kidding! Completely honored!).
The Australian-born, now LA-grounded singer/songwriter/guitarist is notoriously skilled at producing sincere, heartfelt, heartwarming, and in a nutshell, beautifully crafted and memorable songs. This time around, Mellis tugs at heartstrings with an ode to a girl and a city, “Girl From Echo Park,” which I not only appreciate because I’m a native Angeleno(a), but because it showcases Mellis’s unmatched, ethereal vocals and poignant poeticism. The sweet and bubbly serenade is a follow up to Mellis’s EP, Dancing for the Murder of Desire, and also finds itself in a different form on this month’s accompanying release, Live and Acoustic. Stay up to date on Scott’s whereabouts on Facebook, as you wouldn’t want to miss this one-of-a-kind voice in a city near you.
“Girl from Echo Park” officially drops on iTunes today, so be sure to stop by and download it! You can also stream the track below.
