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:
——
Nick Jonas, “Gut Punch” – I’ve personally had the song stuck in my head for months, and technically, it’s only been out for a day: “Hit me like a gut punch, I hurt my own feelings / How did I get so good at being mean to myself? / I should turn the heat down, tell myself to chill out / Damn, I really hate the way I talk to myself.”
– Reagan Denning
——
Matt Hansen, “COMPASS” – “COMPASS” is a heartfelt love letter in which the singer-songwriter bares his heart to his romantic partner. In the chorus, Hansen showcases his impressive vocal range over a pulsating beat as he chants, “All the seas and all the stars / Can tear us away from each other’s arms / But I will find my way back home to you.”
– Germano Blanco
——
Bryan Chase, “Kill The Night” – With “Kill The Night,” Bryan Chase continues his steady evolution into alternative hip-hop and R&B. Released on December 9, the single arrives as a late-night confession, expanding on the reflective tone he introduced just weeks earlier on his three-track EP GRANTED.
– Joseph Ine
——
Claire Guerreso, “I Won’t Give Up” – Guerreso’s latest single, “I Won’t Give Up,” hits especially close to home. She wrote it after losing someone she loved, turning her grief into a promise to keep going. The single is a lifeline for anyone struggling through hard times, especially as the holiday’s come around.
