The Awakening
The Awakening ~ is scheduled for release on Sept. 25th.
To express Melissa's heartfelt appreciation to her loyal fans, M.E.I.N. will coordinate a series of worldwide listening parties to debut her new album. M.E.I.N. is collaborating with the Hard Rock Cafe, Olivia Cruise and Island Records to deliver gatherings that will match the quality of Melissa's new music.
In most cities the parties will be hosted at the Hard Rock Cafe. They are scheduled from Sept. 20 - 24th. Check your city below for dates & times. The listening parties will be the kick off for the Hard Rock's Rocktober Breast Cancer Awareness campaign in which Melissa will introduce the limited-edtion 2007 Hard Rock Breast Cancer Awareness Pin. One hundred percent of net profits from sales of the Pin will be donated to The Breast Cancer Research Fund, this year's "Rocktober" beneficiary.
