MELODRIFT: MUSIC OF THE WEEK (20.02.26)

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

Sophia Tice ‘WAY OUT’

With ‘WAY OUT’, Sophia Tice proves she’s not afraid to go darker, louder, and more emotionally complex. Blending cinematic piano, experimental textures, and deeply personal storytelling, the track captures the tension of staying versus leaving with striking precision. It’s thoughtful indie pop that lingers long after the final note.

Dace Silina ‘Love Sound’

Dace Silina’s “Love Sound” is the kind of debut that makes you want to hit repeat before the first chorus even ends—think bright pop hooks, heart-on-your-sleeve lyrics, and a voice so smooth it practically slides into your earbuds. With vibes somewhere between Dua Lipa swagger and Ariana Grande’s vocal acrobatics, Silina effortlessly serves a track that’s both catchy and genuinely heartfelt. Consider this the song you didn’t know you needed to soundtrack your day.

Drew Freeland ‘Trouble’

Drew Freeland’s “Trouble” hits like a truth bomb wrapped in Americana grit. From the first low-register note, you know she’s not here to play it safe—this is heartbreak, sass, and self-discovery rolled into one addictive track. With echoes of Country storytelling, bluesy folk textures, and a hint of rock edge, Freeland takes a personal breakup and turns it into something universally empowering. It’s the kind of song that makes you nod, smirk, and maybe even belt along in your car on the way home.

FREE/MAN ‘Redemption Song’

FREE/MAN takes Redemption Song, lights a candle, opens a window, and lets the air do the rest. Charlie Freeman’s version is stripped-back, soulful, and effortlessly warm, turning Marley’s classic into a late-night reflection session you didn’t know you needed. It’s calm, honest, and quietly powerful — proof that sometimes less really is more.

Memory Spells & Jordan Whitlock ‘Higher’

If “Higher” were a color, it would be a soft, shimmering blue that makes you want to stare out a window and just feel things. The track effortlessly marries Memory Spells’ lush production with Jordan Whitlock’s ethereal vocals, crafting a dreamy landscape where each note feels intentional, yet effortless. Catchy, cinematic, and emotionally resonant, it’s one of those rare songs that hits your ears and your heart at the same time, guaranteed to get stuck in your head in the best way.
