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:
Òlah Bliss – “Holy” Holy is right. Òlah Bliss immerses the listener in a tumultuous but ethereal soundscape of personal struggle in her new single, “Holy“. Though this song lures the listener in with an accessible, poignant hook, “You fucked me up”, it tells a deeper story of dissatisfaction in life, with self, and an outside actor.
– Kobe Henderson

Sammy Rae & The Friends – “Coming Home Song” The band’s newest single, “Coming Home Song” feels like giving yourself a big hug. The lyrics are about being kind to yourself, and finding a home within yourself and your community. The intro melody sounds reminiscent of early swing & blues, and the instrumentation slowly builds throughout the song.
– Caroline Speer

Tim Voilhat – “Scandi Queen” Known for crafting feel-good melodies that embrace fruit cocktails and moments of solitude, Voilhat now spends their days immersed in creativity. Accompanied by a pink cassette player and picking flowers in nature, the artist explores the Norwegian woods alone in “Scandi Queen.” This bright and electric track invites listeners on a musically enlightening and vibrant journey.

Jay Putty – “On My Way” Reminiscent of American Authors’ “Best Day Of My Life” and Colony House’s “Moving Forward”, Jay’s song lifts the listener up on its shoulders, pointing out the better days that are yet to come. The artist believes that everything happens for a reason, that even the greatest tragedies can lead to life’s most beautiful moments. Jay says, “Life is unfair sometimes. But, the valleys that are carved out only lead to taller mountain tops if we choose to keep moving forward.”
– Lexi Whitney
