Award-winning singer, songwriter and activist Melissa Etheridge’s new album ‘One Way Out’, is out today. ‘One Way Out’ is a collection of music written by Etheridge in the late 1980s and early 1990s that never made the cut…until now.

Etheridge stumbled upon these decades old songs/demos years ago while gathering materials for a retrospective box set. As she went through the songs, it brought her back to the start of her career and how they just weren’t right for that particular time or album. Some of the tracks were written before she had even come out and never felt comfortable releasing them, but knew they would be perfect for the box set.

In 2013, the singer found herself back at Henson Studios in Los Angeles with her original band (Fritz Lewak, John Shanks, Kevin McCormick) and would give these songs a new life. Shortly after she finished the records, she would part ways with her label and the box set was shelved. Melissa would begin working on new material and once again, those songs were set aside. That is, until 2020 when she was sorting through old files to share with fans on Etheridge TV’s ‘Friday Night Time Machine’ show. The time was finally right. Fans will finally get a deeper glimpse to who Melissa was then, when she releases One Way Out. Check out the tracklisting below which includes two songs recorded live at the Roxy in Los Angeles in 2002!

Etheridge has also confirmed a European tour for summer 2022. “I’m so excited to bring these songs to my fans. Years later I still am moved and can’t wait to share these tracks live.” More info can be found at MelissaEtheridge.com
