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:
Alexander Stewart “blame’s on me” – Emotions ebb and flow, but they all pull at heartstrings nonetheless, leaving you feeling pained and frustrated, as if you’re bleeding. It’s the pain that sprouts from Canadian singer-songwriter Alexander Stewart’s emotional reckonings, making the aftermath sting that much more. “blame’s on me” dives into self-reflection on the aftermath of a relationship. Stewart explores the acceptance of heartbreak and the bittersweetness that comes with seeking closure and peace. Stewart admits his own faults for the ending of the relationship in “blame’s on me.” Realizing you were also in the wrong is never easy; it means taking responsibility for how things played out, and Stewart must come to terms with his wrongdoings.

While their last few releases have been a bit softer than their typical style, this dynamic track will stand out to longtime fans of the band. It will also be the opener of their upcoming album I Want To Disappear, due out June 21 via Pure Noise Records.

Caleb Hearn “Klonopin” – Caleb Hearn’s newest track, “Klonopin,” was released alongside a music video. While Hearn collaborated earlier this year with New York-based singer-songwriter ROSIE for the single “A Little Bit Better” – a raw and poetic track that opens up about living a life with mental health struggles – “Klonopin” marks the first time that Hearn is turning the focus on himself. The single travels down a darker and more personal path as the star expresses his own struggle with anxiety – something that he’s been hesitant to talk about until now.
