MELISSA ETHERIDGE’S NEW ALBUM ONE WAY OUT OUT NOW
One Way Out Digital Album Out Now, In Stores on October 1
GLAAD Premieres Extended Version For “As Cool As You Try” Video
“I’m so excited to bring these songs to my fans.
Years later I still am moved and can’t wait to share these tracks live.”
-Melissa Etheridge
One Way Out (BMG), the new album from the iconic Grammy and Academy award winning singer/songwriter Melissa Etheridge is available now via all digital platforms and will be in stores on October 1! To celebrate the release, Melissa stopped by Good Morning America yesterday to perform her latest single “As Cool As You Try.”
The nine track album features a collection of songs written by Etheridge in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s that never made the cut….until now! The time is finally right and fans will finally get a deeper glimpse to who Melissa was then. Full tracklisting below.
Etheridge stumbled upon these decades old songs/demos years ago while gathering materials for a retrospective box set. As she went through the songs, it brought her back to the start of her career and how they just weren’t right for that particular time or album. Some of the tracks were written before she had even come out and never felt comfortable releasing them, but knew they would be perfect for the box set. In 2013, the singer found herself back at Henson Studios in Los Angeles with her original band (Fritz Lewak, John Shanks, Kevin McCormick) and would give these songs a new life. Shortly after she finished the records, she would part ways with her label and the box set was shelved. Melissa would begin working on new material and once again, those songs were set aside. That is, until 2020 when she was sorting through old files to share with fans on Etheridge TV’s Friday Night Time Machine show. The time was finally right.
Etheridge is currently on the road in support of the album and will be touring through the fall in support of One Way Out. Dates include new cities and rescheduled shows from 2020. All tour dates and additional info can be found at MelissaEtheridge.com.
