Skin

A stark, intimate document of heartbreak and recovery. Etheridge trades her stadium-rock anthems for dry, acoustic-led arrangements and bone-raw vocal honesty.

Find on Amazon

The record where Melissa stops shouting at the rafters and starts whispering the truth to herself.

A raw, unvarnished journey through the wreckage of a relationship toward a quiet, hard-won peace.
