Discover the newest music that the MELODRIFT team have been listening to.

Saint Klawd ‘Rendezvous’

Saint Klawd’s “Rendezvous” is a velvet-smooth journey through emotional vulnerability, blending Alternative R&B textures with heartfelt lyricism that captures the ache of one last goodbye. With rich vocal delivery and lush, atmospheric production, the track paints a vivid portrait of intimacy and heartbreak, proving Saint Klawd’s ability to make soul music that’s both modern and timeless.

Charlie McDonald ‘Time’

Charlie McDonald’s ‘Time’ is a hauntingly beautiful exploration of memory’s fragile hold and the relentless passage of time, weaving expansive cinematic arrangements with rich R&B undertones that create a deeply immersive soundscape. His intimate vocal delivery cuts through the lush production with raw emotional honesty, making the song feel profoundly human and unvarnished. Time marks a significant evolution in McDonald’s artistry, showcasing a maturity and depth that resonates long after the final note, inviting listeners to reflect on the bittersweet nature of remembrance and loss with striking clarity and grace.

Gerard O’Donnell ‘He By Water’

Gerard O’Donnell’s ‘He By Water’ is a gorgeously cinematic journey that feels like standing at the edge of the world, staring out at the sea with a head full of memories—his piano drips with emotion, gently building into a sweeping orchestral tide that crashes in all the right places; it’s reflective, powerful, and just the kind of soul-stirring soundtrack your quietest (or most dramatic) moments have been waiting for.

Deja Vu ‘I Love You Anyway’

Deja Vu’s latest single ‘I Love You Anyway’ is a heart-on-sleeve anthem that feels like driving home after a long day — tired, maybe a little bruised, but hopeful. Packed with emotion and just the right dose of indie grit, the Wicklow quartet channel their inner Springsteen with a modern Irish twist, crafting a track that’s equal parts tender and triumphant. Stefan O’Brien’s vocals carry the weight of the song’s message — family, flaws, forgiveness — while the band builds a soaring, cinematic backdrop that makes you want to throw your arms around someone and scream the chorus into the night. It’s bold, it’s big, and it’s beautifully real.

Kilder 'Dusk Till Dawn'

Kilder’s “Dusk Till Dawn” is your post-9-to-5 soul cleanse — a glossy, groove-drenched escape hatch from the dullness of routine into a night pulsing with possibility. Blending the bounce of UKG, the swagger of house, and a hint of techno grit, the Amsterdam producer bottles the euphoria of dancing your stress away under strobe lights. The video? A full-blown glow-up montage for your inner club persona. It’s a sonic daydream that starts with a sigh and ends in sweat, neon, and maybe a few life choices you’ll remember fondly (or not) in the morning.
