New Zealand singer/songwriter Mel Parsons is releasing her album, Drylands, this Friday and we're super pleased to bring you an advance stream of the album here today.

With warm tones, lush guitar work and heartfelt lyrics, Parsons' Drylands features vocals from longtime friend and Kiwi musician Anika Moa, as well as Bunnies On Ponies' Craig Terris.

After the release of her album, Parsons will be taking to the road with Moa on a tour around Australia until 4 December.
