Mélange
Combining Caribbean beats and thick, soulful grooves, five-piece D.C.
group Mélange play an eclectic style of R&B that brings the listener
into a vibrant world of sultry singing and upbeat rhythms.
Singer and keyboardist Sarah Thomas, formerly a solo artist who formed
her own label, Royal-T Records, in 2004, plays with Gustavo Monje on
guitar, Charles Thompson on bass, Isaac Asare on drums, and David
Robinson on Latin percussion.
Drawing on influences ranging from Sade to Roberta Flack to Frank
Sinatra, Mélange explores a variety of styles including R&B, Latin,
jazz and rock. The group also cites traditional Haitian music as a
major influence, with Sarah tracing her family roots back to that
Caribbean island.
Mélange’s high-energy live shows often include crowd participation
and, if the audience takes their vitamins, lots of dancing. The group
has been playing in the D.C. area since the beginning of 2007, and
their first gig was in March 2007, performing on the finale of a show
called “Hot or Not,” produced by Isaac. In fact, three members of the
group—Isaac, David and Sarah—work at the same television station.
They plan to continue playing venues in D.C., with shows in other
cities planned for the future.
The group recently completed a demo and is working on original songs
for a full-length CD slated for release by the end of 2007. Songs
like “Never Leave the Dance Floor” and “If in the Summer” touch on themes of
love and betrayal as well political issues.
Fans of R&B will dig Mélange’s smooth style, while
musical omnivores will revel in the diversity and accessibility of
the band’s sonic sensibilities. Bring them flowers or congratulate them at shows,
but don’t even think about buying them a steak dinner. Three
out of five members of Mélange are proud vegetarians!
