In The Spotlight

Kenadi Dodds – “Run”

Born in Utah, this singer and songwriter grew up in a music-loving household with two visually impaired parents. Her dad Chris Dodds was an athlete playing for the US Paralympic Goalball Team. A Shania Twain concert aged 9 sparked her drive to become an artist and she began vocal and piano lessons shortly after. She was a contestant on America’s Got Talent 2020, reaching the Top 10. Inspired by Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus and Sabrina Carpenter, she debuted with “Toxic” in 2025.

Singing about embracing a passionate summer romance, her new single recognises the futility of trying to run from your feelings for someone special. Wrapped in a sunlit, high-energy melody, this catchy pop song is a fast-paced sonic feast. Driven by clever layering of a rhythmic pulse and radiant synths, this tune mimics the sensation of running. And shifting away from her country roots, it’s her bright pop vocals that turn this lively groove into a celebration of summery love.

Melanie Wehbe – “Alive”

Hailing from Västerås, this Swedish singer and songwriter discovered songwriting as a coping mechanism at the age of 14 and used it as a tool to make sense of her life. As a child she did have formal piano lessons and attended a music school. She’s written a plethora of songs for other artists, including 4 Eurovision Song Contest entries. As a singer she’s performed at various Pride festivals across Europe. Inspired by Kelly Clarkson and Hayley Williams, she debuted with “Wasted” in 2016.

Written as an emotional compass for self-acceptance and celebrating hope, courage and the freedom to love yourself, her new single was chosen at the official theme for Stockholm Pride 2026. Accompanying the empowering lyrics is a high-energy and stadium-ready Scandi-pop melody. With a pulsating bass, radiant synths and orchestral strings merging into an imposing wall-of-sound, it’s her multi-faceted vocals ranging from intimate to powerful that make this tune a catchy groove.
