In The Spotlight

Mel Raeburn – “Love Me Again”

Based in Cheshire and Manchester, this British singer-songwriter had a passion for singing from a young age. Charmed by alt-pop, soul-pop and jazz, she spent years crafting her sound. Despite her musical interests, she went to study marketing at university. She’s performed at notable venues such as King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut in Glasgow and Matt & Phred’s Jazz Club in Manchester. Inspired by Michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse and Olivia Dean, she debuted with “Table For Two” in 2026.

Paying tribute to female friendship and self-compassion, her new single explores how the unconditional support of lifelong friends can help you heal. Built on a dynamic alt-pop production, this song blends organic storytelling with an uplifting pop edge. With a steady rhythm, warm and textured electric guitars, and shimmering synths creating an atmospheric vibe, it’s the lush vocal stacking, ascending from intimate to powerful, that makes this imposing pop anthem a melodic triumph.

Inger Lise Hope – “This Is My Voice”

Hailing from Stavanger, this Norwegian singer-songwriter grew up in a country-music-loving household. From a young age, she showed a real talent for hearing tones and pitches. Overcoming childhood shyness, she auditioned for The X Factor Norway in 2009, was placed in a band called Shackles and became the runner-up. In 2024, she entered The Voice Norway and went on to win. Inspired by Celine Dion, Lara Fabian and Whitney Houston, she released her debut “Ka Va Det Eg Sa” in 2018.

With deeply personal lyrics about self-acceptance, vulnerability and reclaiming one’s true identity, her new single captures the bravery needed to listen to her heart and let go of fear. Featuring the Stavanger Symphony Orchestra, this song is an imposing cinematic, orchestral ballad. Slowly easing into the melody with lush strings and intimate piano, the arrangement swells to a crescendo of theatrical percussion and vivid brass. And with her flawless vocals, this is a grandiose tune.
