DeMood was nominated for the WAMA Grammy Awards for Best smooth jazz Instrumental Album.

For his second release DeMood, jazzy keyboardist Melvin Rogers picks up where he left off navigating deftly from smooth jazz to R&B and back again. While loyal listeners will quickly recognize that they've been over Melvin's familiar terrain before, smooth jazz fans will undoubtedly find DeMood veering more deeply into rhythm-and-blues territory as Rogers keeps a steady balance of both.

Rogers gets things going right from the start with his smooth vocals warmly inviting us to hop aboard on "Sweet Pretty." The journey picks up pace as it works it's way through the jazzy "DeMood" before stepping it up with "CitiLites 3000" the CD's curiously aerobic-paced mover. Rogers playfully steers listeners through pleasing melodic ballads on "Remember When" before adding backbone to the upbeat on "Luv-U-Now" while saving the best for last on "Sok N' Wet".
