Our Story

THE JAZZ SINGLE ENTITLED, MON MELANGE IS A LOVE SONG. IT WAS WRITTEN  BY ALICE PARRIS FOR
NUVISION RECORDS. THE SONG'S MEANING IS FRENCH FOR "MY MIXTURE.' THE CONCEPTION OF THE IDEA
FOR THIS SONG TOOK PLACE FIFTEEN YEARS AGO, BUT THE TIME FOR THIS SONG'S RELEASE IS NOW.

THIS SONG CELEBRATES THE BEAUTY AND RICHNESS OF ETHIC MIXTURES, LIKE MY OWN. I HAVE TRIED TO LIFT
UP A SEGMENT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT ALWAYS BEEN PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGED FOR THEIR UNIQUE BEAUTY. THERE IS A STORY TO BE TOLD IN THE LYRICS OF THIS SONG. A WOMAN IS IN LOVE WITH A MAN WHO IS MIXED AND IS THE SOURCE OF HER HEART'S GREATEST JOY. SHE IS SINGING ABOUT HIM IN THE FIRST TWO VERSES. IN THE THIRD VERSE (OF AN AAA STRUCTURED SONG WITH A GUITAR INTERLUDE) SHE SPEAKS TO HIM.

KEYBOARD ARRANGEMENTS BY JAMES PRESTON PRICE aka. DR. FISH, DRUMS AND PERCUSSIONS BY BOBBY PARRIS FOR NU VISION RECORDS. THE MELODY, LYRICS AND VOCALS  BY ALICE PARRIS MON MELANGE WAS ORIGINALLY DEDICATED TO THE GREAT PEOPLE OF NEW ORLEANS, IN ORDER TO ENCOURAGE THEM IN THE AFTERMATH OF HURRICAN KATRINA. NU VISION RECORDS NOW WANTS TO ALSO DEDICATE THIS SONG TO BARACK AND MICHELLE OBAMA. THEIR LIVES TOGETHER ARE AN AMAZING LOVE SONG.
