Mel Peekaboo - Straight To Your Heart (2020)

Mel's first album on El Toro entitled "It's Her" was an immediate smash it and got benevolent reviews in many of today's leading magazines and also on online platforms. In this, her second album, Mel presents an unusual variety of songs and tempos that demonstrate further her tremendous talent and versatility.
There are ballads and rockers which she has written herself. One of the song was not originally written for her, but it destined to become identified with Mel alone.
Backing Mel and Massimo are the great musicians who can also be heard on her debut album; Michael "Humpty Dumpty" Kirscht on guitar, Axel Praefcke on drums and Johnny Pierce on upright bass. This high-fidelity recording is a true reproduction of all sounds without discrimination or distortion. The original recording was done on a Telefunken M10 recorder at 38 cm/s using BASF PER-528 tape. To effectively record the full frequency spectrum Neumann U-47, U-67 and M-49 microphones were used. Artificial reverberation from EMT-140 reverb plate.
Sessions were held at LIGHTNING RECORDERS, Berlin/Germany.
