Mel and Rob do share the passion for Music. For many years, the two sang together. So it was only a matter of time until a joint project would appear. It was obvious that it would be the song "Push That Horn"; Finally, the words of Dean Terry imay ring even louder in her ears, since Dean had been her mentor long before Rob came into contact with the Cutting.

​

Mel has a penchant for singing the second voice. She quickly finds harmonies that make these parts much richer and an incredible enrichment. Singing harmonies challenges the singer unbelievably, even experienced singers quickly end up in the original melody again and again.

​

Mel was able to expand and perfect her technique during a stay in Nashville in September 2018. In Music City she had many interesting experiences in vocal lessons with Rob's coaches Kristin K. Smith and Renee Grant Williams, preparing for the recording of the first joint project.

​

Even before the release of the single in November 2018, it quickly became clear that further cooperation would follow. In the new recordings Mel was singing further background vocals in some songs.

​

But that's not the only cooperation of the spouses. Rob's single "Dust", to be released in March 2019, was written by Mel together with Kristin K. Smith in Nashville. The only song of the future album that Rob was not involved in as a songwriter.
