Melissa Etheridge has been a core Island Records artist since the release of her critically-acclaimed eponymous RIAA double-platinum debut album. For several years, Etheridge’s popularity built around such memorable songs as Bring Me Some Water, No Souvenirs and Ain't It Heavy, for which she won her first Grammy for Best Female Rock Vocal.

Etheridge hit her commercial and artistic stride with her fourth album, Yes I Am, featuring the massive hits I’m the Only One and Come to My Window, a searing song of longing that brought her second Best Female Rock Grammy. 

The album went six times platinum and spent more than two and a half years on the album chart.
