Homeward Bound With One Hand At The Wheel - Leanne Melmoth
‘Homeward bound with one hand at the wheel’
All of your world | Leanne Melmoth
Upcoming NfS Single & current #47 Top 50 CMC clip
When Canberra artist Leanne Melmoth launched her debut album Perfect Day, Deborah Minter’s album review for Capital News simply read ‘Leanne Melmoth, where have you been?!? ‘
What followed was two successful singles and in 2010 a possible third, if news last week charting in CMC Top 50 means anything, and soon to radio, available on NfS 139 from March 22.
With a run of low key successes, radio airplay and two very video friendly clips, the title track Perfect Day and Underneath the Radar, Melmoth established herself in the industry playing support at ACT gigs to major acts, and creating a market for her new album, described as ‘an irrepressible grin flashing in the rear view mirror from a woman with a passion for music.’
‘Perfect Day’s smooth fusion of country and adult-contemporary lyrics layered with hope and humour and up-beat melodies, conjure the feeling of being homeward bound with one hand at the wheel and the other weaving through the wind.’
A perfect analogy for the latest offerings, another articulate Ross Wood production, humorously combining the catchy, upbeat tune with a strong message for men to be good to the women in their world.
It’s a story of a normal day in a couple’s life; a woman waiting on her man to go on a picnic, but of course.......he's at the racing track! Instead of sitting at home sulking she decides to join his world and takes the picnic to the track. After watching lap after lap, she finally gets involved and in a fun twist, shows him how it's done!!
Filmed at the Marulen Driver Training Centre at Marulen, Leanne was excited and apprehensive at the same time about the location ‘I love my cars so this film clip was a blast to make! A dream come true! The race car in the clip was an original Bathurst racing car and the guys just loved bringing it out for the clip.’
‘Apparently it doesn't get driven very often any more! The neighbours around the driver training centre complain about the noise of the car so we were really limited with time and how long we could have it driving for! It was an absolutely freezing day hence there’s a shot of me in a jacket and warm coffee!!!!’
‘I wrote this song in about 1 hour flat. It was fun to write and flowed easily’ Leanne smiles ‘I love performing this song live, because all the girls sing along and the reaction from the guys is priceless!’
‘Its subtle tongue-in-cheek questions what every girl needs to consider before getting serious about a guy. Will he rub your feet? Will he take you shopping? Will he love you without your makeup? Will he look after the kids when you've ‘had a day’? Will he fight for you?’
‘All of your world’ is our most requested song at live shows, I think that says something about how a lot of girls feel’
‘Sometimes we need to be all of someone’s world.’
