Yes I Am

Melissa Etheridge

Grit and vulnerability. Gravelly vocals meet percussive acoustic guitars in a definitive statement of identity and blues-soaked rock catharsis.

The ultimate 'scream-it-in-your-car' album for when you're finally done hiding who you are.

A fierce and soulful reclamation of identity, balancing raw heartbreak with triumphant self-assurance.

Moments Worth Waiting For

the desperate, rhythmic rasp in the bridge of I'm the Only One where the vocals mimic the tearing of a heart

the sudden, soaring clarity of the chorus in Come to My Window that feels like a physical release of tension

the way the acoustic guitar aggressively drives the tempo of Resist, creating a sense of urgent, percussive defiance
