Nashville-based genre-defying riser Mel Denisse has just unleashed her latest single “Like a Fiend”. The artist collaborated with Micah Tawlks (Hayley Williams, Noah Kahan) and Stephen Laurenson for this mesmerizing musical offering. The track follows her debut single “Just the Same”, shared in 2022.
With “Like a Fiend”, Mel Denisse pens a song all about the fragility of time and a creature who is stuck in a duality between two opposing emotional sides. Dark to light, euphoria to misery, strong to fragile, the being has a manic emotional whiplash that is unsettling. She sings, “I’m on the inside / Like a thrill / Like a Fiend / Blood thoughts / You can’t be held in wine,” showing this narrative. Throbbing haunting basslines, colliding synths, grungy guitars, and mood-drenched rhythms make for an adventurous and bold musical envelopment. Mel Denisse’s vocal performance is striking and inviting as she sings hook-ready melodies over experimental swirling soundscapes. “Like a Fiend” feels like it is dispatched from another dimension, in the best way possible, a cinematic, noir-drenched world.
Mel Denisse is a Turkish/American singer-songwriter. Being exposed to multiple cultures, the singer experienced a variety of different music from a young age. This mixture created her love for the unusual/unexpected musical patterns, something that she often emulates in her own music. Take a listen to “Like a Fiend” now and get lost in the sound.
