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:
——
Miley Cyrus, Lindsey Buckingham and Mick Fleetwood, “Secrets” – Only an icon such as Cyrus could finesse a collaboration with some of the most influential voices in music. “Secrets” features contributions from Lindsey Buckingham (guitar) and Mick Fleetwood (drums), former Fleetwood Mac members. The ballad was written as a “peace offering” to her father, Billy Ray Cyrus. Sometimes family can get a little messy, but this song resonates because it captures the beauty of allowing loved ones to hold their secrets while still offering them unconditional love and understanding.
– Reagan Denning
——
Estella Dawn, “Reckless” – The New Zealand native is reflecting on betrayal and late-night fights, presented in her honestly raw lyrics. She confronts the heartbreaking reality of someone you once trusted now feeling like a stranger. She lays down the gut-punching line “I think we’re even, babe”, solidifying the fact that neither partner will walk away unharmed.
– Gabi Cuevas
——
Waterparks, “IF LYRICS WERE CONFIDENTIAL” – If there’s one thing Waterparks have become known for, it’s their brutal honesty and no-tolerance policy for toxicity. After premiering the first half of the new single at Reading and Leeds Festival last month, the Houston trio has finally released the highly-anticipated “IF LYRICS WERE CONFIDENTIAL.” The track is the second single from the band’s new era after releasing their explosive return with “RED GUITAR” in July.
– Amber Bintliff
——
Thomas Day, “sore throat” – Thomas Day captures the kind of heartbreak that doesn’t arrive all at once, but instead seeps in slowly on his latest indie pop release, “sore throat.” Day reminisces on late-night conversations, inside jokes, and dreams built together, only to realize those things now live solely in his memory.
– Reagan Denning
