Every Monday, we bring you a playlist filled with new tracks the Melodic staff has been listening to on repeat. Hear some of our latest obsessions below:
Charli xcx and Billie Eilish, “Guess” – Charli xcx has released “Guess” featuring 9 time Grammy winner Billie Eilish. This is the first time that the duo has teamed up together despite both being hot on the charts with the release of their most recent albums, Brat by Charli xcx and HIT ME HARD AND SOFT by Billie Eilish.

Flat Party, “Shotgun” – Following a memorable debut EP in January, Flat Party releases their newest hit. The six-piece band describes the new song, “Shotgun”, as “an ode to hedonism”. Combining elements of 80s and 90s Britpop with an artsy modern pop flair, “Shotgun” releases just in time to be added to every summer party playlist. The song uses playful and experimental sounds, such as a triangle, droning synth, and overlapping vocals, to create a confusingly fun atmosphere filled with loneliness, lust, and existential boredom.

Paris Hilton and Meghan Trainor, “Chasin'” – “Chasin’” is about knowing your worth in a relationship. Through fun percussion and smooth vocals, Paris Hilton and Meghan Trainor argue that running after love will never bring happiness and fulfillment. Lyrics such as, “I know what I deserve and what I want / So if you hesitate, you ain’t the one / I’m lookin’ for affection, gimme love / Your little sweet talk ain’t enough” highlight the need for respect and appreciation in a relationship, otherwise the partnership won’t last.
– Emma Celenza

Téo Amo, “Feel It” – If you’re a Calvin Harris, Toro y Moi, and Mayer Hawthorne fan, Téo Amo is your new go-to artist. His latest release, “Feel It”, is a blend of funk and alt-pop, resulting in a track that’s as introspective as it is danceable. The song opens with a funky intro that exudes melancholic vibes, making you feel sad for no reason. But what’s better than music that makes you feel things?
