• Keep it Simple

  Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

  Melody & Morestyles - Keep It Simple ( reveiw of the album by Matt Churchill ) Imagine a deserted bay, gentle breeze rippling the heat haze as you walk, sand between your toes and not a sound except that of the waves. Melody and Morestyles would provide the soundtrack to your stroll. Taking snippets of Portishead and Massive Attack, the ethereal dream like daze that you fall into listening to Keep It Simple is so intense you could very well be up with the clouds. The sound is very organic, ranging from chilled jazz on ’Get It Down’ with plodding upright bass and scat aplenty, to deliciously grimey hip hop on ’Step Back From One’ and wave like soul of ’Beachin’, which feels like its actually inhaling and exhaling. With a voice that tingles the deepest parts of the soul, Melody has a skill for picking the right inflection to put onto a word to make each lyric a mini statement – there are no dead lines or fillers here. Her voice is soft but perfectly pitched and has the potential to be stretched much more, but had it been any different the feel of the record would have been lost. The CD is available at www.myspace.com/melodylaffy for a fiver, which is money well spent when you consider the uniqueness of the album. With the indie scene becoming saturated with Libertines wannabes and Oasis never-gonnabes, it is not only refreshing, but also about time that music is re-discovered and explored with boundaries being pushed and rules broken. With this effort, Melody & Morestyles are having a go at doing just that and long may it continue. 04/07/2007
  
  WATFORD FLEA MAGAZINE issue 28. TOP FIVE WATFORD BANDS REVEIW by Matt Churchill MELODY & MORESTYLES. Melody and Morestyles features the brilliant vocal talents of Melody Laffy and a vast array of assembled musicians that produce a Massive Attack cum Groove Amada cum Portishead wall of soul, jazz and hip hop. Possibly the most versitile and talented group of musicians in Herts, if not (dare it be whispered), the world, the collaboration of styles and ideas combine to manufacture an eclectic set that will entertain pretty much anybody, and introduce a different level of inspirational music to the local scene. Refreshingly different, Melody’s voice is from a golden age of soul and funk, of which there is little better ground. The group have created ’Keep It Simple’, a 10 track album which is a fine testament to their work so far, and despite the band’s relative infancy, there is enough diverse material to make them essential to watch live
