Every Monday, we bring you a playlist filled with tracks the Melodic staff has been listening to on repeat. Hear some of our latest obsessions below:
Danny Wright – “Not Dead Yet” Within the gritty, punk-rock energy of the track, Danny’s voice embodies a powerful blend of experience and vulnerability. His words paint a vivid picture of wrestling with the ghosts of the past while seeking solace within the strains of a guitar. “I’m isolated and I know I’m hated, Intoxicated memories,” echoes the universal sentiments of isolation, regret, and the relentless pursuit of inner peace.
– Kobe Henderson
——
Imogen Valentine – “Expiration Day” “Expiration Day” is a celebratory dive into grunge pop, adorned with the infectious energy of the ’90s. With Dave Grohl-inspired drums setting the rhythm, Imogen Valentine infuses the track with a tongue-in-cheek writing style that provides a space for listeners to embrace their angst and be unapologetically themselves. This single is a declaration of independence, a rebellion against relationships that no longer serve.
– Laury Verdoux
——
Jack Hyphen – “Happiness” With its upbeat guitars and groovy drums, “Happiness” has a bright sound that brings a sense of optimism to the track, turning into an instant mood booster – on the surface. Influenced by classic alt rock bands like Bombay Bicycle Club and Bloc Party, Jack Hyphen creates an almost ethereal sound at times; the element of “happiness” is brought to life in the music, with a distinctly uplifting vibe.
– Maria Mata

Dirty Blonde – “Favourite Record” Dirty Blonde emphasizes their presence in the femme alt rock world with “Favourite Record.” “This song captures the whirlwind of emotions that accompany navigating through past relationships in your younger years. It dives into the uncertainties that arise when we wonder whether moving on was the right choice and the love you still have for someone even after years have passed.”
– Cass Faulding
