In March 2005 she released her debut album "No More Mondays" on her own label, Kitten Kong Records. An outstanding vocalist capable of singing anything from Aretha Franklin to Ella Fitzgerald, Melissa seamlessly integrates her conservatorium jazz training with R&B grooves. Featuring a dynamic band including jazz legend John Hoffman on trumpet (Buddy Rich, Woody Herman), "No More Mondays" contains originals, standards and jazzified takes on popular tunes from Michael Jackson, D'Angelo and even Metallica. It is available in Australia through major music retailers (eg HMV)and internationally through the online store, CD Baby. 1. Shhh (Intro) 2.

Lyrics
It's an awkward situation There's some unfinished business in the air It's not that I don't like your invitation But I'm taking my time Gonna get it right Maybe I'm just a weak impersonation Of the person I wanted to be If you could just excuse the obfuscation And give me time to reveal me But please don't give up Cos I'm thinking you over and over again Don't know the story, but I know how it ends I'm thinking you over and over again I'm delaying the bliss Too many times, like a fool rushin in Used my best lines before the show begins No map, no sign But a grand design I know where I'm going with this You're my ticket to happiness So I roll the thought of you around in my mouth Taste the salt of you and suck your sweetness out Savour each moment Every morsel, every drop For I don't want this feast to end You will sustain me So I'm thinking you over and over again Don't know the story, but I know how it ends I'm thinking you over and over again I'm delaying the bliss (Piano Solo) And I'm thinking you over and over again Don't know the story, but I know how it ends I'm thinking you over and over again I'm delaying the bliss (Copyright: Kitten Kong Records, 2005)
