Melody Pool

Melody Pool is an acclaimed Australian singer-songwriter whose career has been marked by both personal growth and musical evolution. With a distinctive blend of ethereal vocals and emotionally resonant songwriting, Pool has earned herself a prominent place in the Australian music scene. Her debut album The Hurting Scene (2013) quickly garnered attention, leading to a record deal with Mushroom Group and opportunities to support legendary acts like The Eagles, Rodriguez, and Tina Arena.

Following her sophomore album Deep Dark Savage Heart, which explored her struggles with mental health, Pool took a step back from her career to focus on her well-being, sharing her journey in a powerful episode of ABC's Australian Story. After a six-year hiatus, she made a much-awaited return with the EP Lost in Time (2023), signalling her growth as an artist and songwriter.

Now, with her highly anticipated third studio album on the horizon, Pool continues to push creative boundaries. Recorded live onto 6-inch, 24-track tape at Golden Retriever Studios, the album’s singles, Fantasy Girl and Changing, have already captivated listeners, and the third single, Will Not Let You Down, offers a glimpse into the rich sonic landscape of what’s to come. Pool’s work remains a reflection of her unwavering commitment to artistic expression and personal authenticity.
