Melissa Phoenix's album Valkyrie is a captivating collection of 15 original folk songs that showcase her talent as a singer-songwriter and harpist, while paying tribute to the nordic and Celtic culture and spirit. The title track, "Valkyrie," stands out with its haunting melody and evocative lyrics, drawing listeners into a world of myth and emotion.

"Queen of the Sky" opens the album with a powerful narrative, setting the tone for the journey ahead. Another highlight, "Never Blind,” and “Birds of a Different Feather" offer introspective lyrics paired with Phoenix's signature harp accompaniment, creating a reflective and soothing atmosphere.
