Fresh was the first album by Australian actress, singer and model Melissa Tkautz, released in Australia in 1992. In 1992, Tkautz was a 17-year-old was playing the role of Nikki Spencer on E-Street in Channel 10's drama soap, E-Street, and like many TV stars before her, ventured into the music world. Melissa's debut single, "Read My Lips", caused a storm with provocative lyrics such as "if you want to wait till later then hands off my detonator". Her third single, released in 1992, "Skin To Skin", peaked at number 16 and was released around the time Fresh was released which didn't perform well.
