Upbeat and Fun | Posted March 26, 2011

Melodie Joy may not be a name that’s all-too familiar to you, but she’s been making an impact in Christian music for the last decade --Latin Christian music that is. Aside from her solo Spanish work, she’s written with names such as David Mullen, Group 1 Crew, Grits and several others. With all these accolades accredited to her name, it came as no surprise when in 2010, Melodie Joy took another leap into the world of contemporary Christian music --English that is.

The L.I.F.E  EP (symbolizing the phrase ‘Living Independently From Evil’) starts off with the track “L.A.”, which could very easily be the standout track on the 5-song record. Melodie’s strong vocals are showcased alongside very raw lyrics, taking the idea of Hollywood beauty and what so many do to achieve it. “Savior”, the first single off the EP is up next, it’s a great dance song, much like the rest of the club beat-based album. “Superstar” goes back to a similar message found in that of “L.A.”, only taking it a step further by calling out people seeking fame for glory rather than fame for acceptance.

“Psychobabble” is going to be the automatic favorite of anyone who buys this EP. Not only is the concept of the song brilliant, but the message in the lyrics partners with it almost flawlessly, challenging the listener to speak life rather than death, aka, "psychobabble." It’s a fun song with a great message. “Dream On” (a song which she originally recorded on one of her earlier Latin projects) makes the cut in English as the last song on this short EP. It’s the most unique song on the album because it’s devoid of techo and driven mostly by piano. Melodie proves she can sing both fabulously and it takes the upbeat and energetic album to a calming and worshipful close.

Many are already comparing Melodie’s funky and thumping style to that of secular counterpart Ke$ha, but I’m not one for comparisons. Melodie has a true sound of her own and incredible vocals that I look forward to hearing in the future. I really enjoy this EP and I do hope she chooses to follow up on it soon. It’s sure to get you off you feet with a smile on your face and leave a lasting message in your heart.
