Every week the Melodic staff assembles a Weekly Roundup playlist of songs we can’t stop listening to.
Here are some of the highlights:
1. “Swan Upon Leda” – Hozier
“Hozier released ‘Swan Upon Leda,’ a song from his upcoming 3rd album, Unreal Unearth. Throughout 2022, the artist has been teasing bits and pieces of the album; he posted photos of the lyrics to ‘De Selby’ and ‘Rob The Goddess,’ and recently posted this TikTok. This week, he announced that he would be releasing “Swan Upon Leda,” and added that he would be donating to Mayday, AidAccess, and Plan C, 3 organizations which provide safe access to reproductive healthcare.”

2. “I Can’t Help But Feel” – Surfaces

– Andrea
3. “Slowing Down” – The Backseat Lovers

4. “Lonely Hallucinations” – Alle The Dreamer
“On ‘Lonely Hallucinations,’ Alle The Dreamer gets lost in a reverie. With her light and airy vocals, she sings, ‘I’m getting tired of living on rewind / Oh my God / All my friends keep telling me it’s gonna take time,’ wondering how she is going to move on from a break-up. Even though she knows that she is better off living in the present, she can’t help but look forward to the future or drift back into the past, the dreamy pop production inviting us to travel back and forth with her.”
