"This Moment," Melissa Etheridge

[Deleted]

I'm not sure if they changed the single, but this goes for adds on May 24. "Lucky" was previously reported to be going for Triple A adds.

I like it. I prefer "Lucky" though. It had a little more edge and two ballads in a row is a little more than I would like.

Well, "Lucky" has made the Top 20 on Triple A, so there would be no point in cancelling the second single now.

"Lucky" is pretty radio-friendly anyhow. It has a country kind of feel to it.

Newly married Melissa Etheridge is greeting the summer with a love song, and from the sound of "This Moment," she is completely head-over-heels herself. The track is culled from the artist's new album, "Lucky." It finds Etheridge singing of the moon and the stars and the heavens and angels—leaving no doubt that her head is happily in the clouds. Lines like "You and I can stay here in this moment/Let the world fade away/I just want to stay with you" really need no further explanation. Ditto for "My hand on your skin/We can slowly begin/I am free." The folky rock sound is pure Etheridge, with percussion and tambourine merrily jangling alongside. This is likely to become a new anthem at proms, graduation parties and wedding celebrations.—CLT
