*Melanie Charles is a refreshing, inventive, and beautifully gifted multi-instrumentalist, jazz singer, flutist, beat-maker, remixer and conceptualist, and so much more!

Charles is a ‘one-of-a-kind,’ artist who matters – PERIOD! Why does she matter? This is a difficult question to answer because there are so many reasons why she matters. Charles not only matters for all the apparent reasons – her musical genius, her ability to fuse a range of sounds and create something magical and breath-taking, but also for the cultural work and empowerment piece she also gives to us.

Her improvisational style, inflection, and spontaneity talents displayed in the celebrated Y’all Don’t (Really) Care About Black Women album is nothing short of brilliant and a must-add to your playlist – ‘a sheer ‘masterpiece.’

In 2022, Ebony Magazine listed her album as one of the top female jazz albums to listen to and enjoy. “Melanie Charles’ rumbling voice is perfectly in tune with her music: her songs touch upon issues such as social economic disparity, the pay gap and Mother Africa, all set to a deep, pumping bass beat. Don’t be surprised if you hear lighter notes infused throughout—Charles is also an accomplished flutist.”
