Melina Malone – “Stuck On You”

Hailing from Dublin, this Irish neo-soul singer and songwriter was born to musical parents. Her dad was in a local Ska band and her mother was involved with country music. In college she discovered a wide-variety of genres from R&B to Bossa Nova. Since starting her career she’s played many festivals such as the Guinness Cork Jazz Festival and opened for Macy Gray and Gregory Porter. Inspired by Erykah Badu, Jill Scott and Amber Mark, she released her debut “Now Or Never” in 2019.

Narrating the relatable vulnerability of feeling attracted to someone you know cannot be trusted, her new single combines reflective lyrics with a lively melody. Intricately blending warm jazz with a bouncy bossa-nova rhythm, the song travels from a laid-back vibe to a sonic buoyancy. Starting with a mellow acoustic guitar, soon the Latin sun-beams begin to shine. With easy-going drums, bright keys and her seductive vocals, this airy groove packs a whole lot of musical delight.
