Copycat (girlfriend) marks the return for Australian songstress Melissa James,
who had a hit single and top 20 in the ARIA dance charts in the 1990s with the track
'Baby Come Back'.
Released independently in early May, 'Copycat (Girlfriend) is a strong pop-rock track that
channels Australian rock greats such as the Baby Animals and The Divinyls, while seamlessly
including strong pop and dance themes into the mix. Melissa wrote and produced the track herself,
after committing to write music on a weekly basis with her musical partner Shane Ryall, a practise
that has produced excellent results.
Melissa draws influences from the pop and rock greats such as Pink, The Foo Fighters and
Aussie rock Queen Chrissie Amphlett and although normally shy, she becomes a strutting,
pouting entertainer when onstage. With the voice of a pop diva, Melissa James has written a
joyous and radio friendly pop tune with her track 'Copycat (Girlfriend)' that combines lavish
vocals with stripped back rock guitar.
No stranger to live performances, Melissa has teamed up with an impressive lineup of reputable
Melbourne musicians to create her band, and launched the single on Thursday the 12th of May at
iconic St Kilda venue, The Vineyard.
The captivating new single 'Copycat (girlfriend) is available to purchase now on iTunes, Google
Play, and for streaming on Spotify and other services. The single includes an instrumental and
acapella version of the track, and is available now.
