Magnolia Memoir

Their self-titled debut album has already been labeled, “…an instant classic” by fans like Grant-Lee Phillips, Margaret Cho, and Mark Flanagan, owner of Largo-Los Angeles.

Their second album- "The Perfect Crime" was released February 28, 2012 to critical acclaim. Critics raved, " The Perfect Crime will only serve to bolster a reputation in steep ascent"..." Fiona Apple meets the Killers... with lyrics and harmonies that would leave Leonard Cohen sulking in silence for a month".

Magnolia Memoir has finished their follow up album- "Pale Fire" set for a delayed release -September 9, 2014. After two weeks in March of iTunes features and buzz, the Album release was pushed back from April 2014 due to a catastrophic auto accident when a driver ran a red light and crashed into Mela's car and fractured several of her vertebrae.

Phenomenal Cedars Sinai doctors and Mela's resolve are pushing towards a miraculous recovery. Thank you for your letters of encouragement, your prayers and constant support. Expect 2017 to be a breakout year for the Memoir.
