Hiya honeys!!
I’ve got some thrilling news this week. Melaena Cadiz is my FIRST #1 RECORD!!! WHAT! So incredible (but so deserved!) It’s on the Canadian-equivalent-of-CMJ-site Earshot‘s Folk/Roots/Blues chart from last week (July 13): check it out in all its glory right here! Or even easier, here is a lil’ screenshot for you!! This week was its debut on the chart: debut at NUMBER ONE!!!
OMG!!!
The record’s doing great elsewhere, too. On CMJ’s Top 200 chart, after tying for #12 Most Added three weeks ago and debuting at #155 two weeks ago, this last week it hit #100!! That is so good. Plus the good folks at Zink Magazine just wrote up this review of her, which I love for (aside from totally glowing about the record) including an adorable story about her as a child.
I think that’s about it for this update…just wanted to brag. More info about Melaena directly below this post (or here for the googlers)!

Just discovered Melaena courtesy of her live set on WFMU radio (wfmu.org) on Irene Trudel’s show. What an amazing artist! Love her!
