In The Spotlight

Colleen Orender – “Love Me Harder”

Born in sunny Florida, this singer and songwriter began her career performing with the country act of her grandfather at the age of 5. Growing up on the blues of the likes of BB King, Etta James and Bonnie Raitt, she also fell in love with the jazz of Billie Holiday and Julie London. Now Nashville-based, she opened for Rick Springfield and released the festive “Blame It On The Mistletoe” in 2018.

Blending a fierce vintage blues with a hint of impassioned classic soul, her new single is a rousing force to be reckoned with. With a powerful soundscape of a mighty rhythm, sprightly piano and vigorous saxophone, it’s the grit in her hot and steamy vocals, singing about the differences between men and women’s libido as they age, that makes this blues powerhouse a jam you have to love.

Melle – “Heart Race”

The future of this young Dutch singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist became clear when he fell in love with the sound of a cello aged 5 and when he started writing his own songs, he knew music and him were one. Inspired by artists like Tom Odell, Queen and The Beatles, he explores the whole musical spectrum from acoustic to explosive band pieces. He debuted with his 2019 EP “Y”.

Full of nostalgic 70s exuberance, his new single is a piano-driven vintage feast. Adding a spirited rhythm and elated guitars, all elements merge together in its high-energy chorus. While splashing exhilarated, sunlit tones over the melody, it’s his jovial, refreshing vocals that guide you through the lyrical love story. With a happiness-inducing radiance, this retro tune is bound to make you feel good.
