Melissa Ferrick has announced that she has signed to iconic record label Kill Rock Stars, and released a new single, her first new music in eight years. The single, a return to rock form for Ferrick, is titled ‘Black Dress’ and is available now across all platforms.

‘Black Dress’ conjures the swagger of ‘Brass in Pocket’ and the sexy groove of Bridgers’ ‘Motion Sickness’. ‘Black Dress’ is the best rock song we’ve ever heard from Ferrick.

Ferrick at age 52 is feeling more confident in her craft, identity and sexuality than she ever has, which comes across with the new single in which she returns to form of straight-forward rock music, a genre she has not dabbled in over a decade.
