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

Brandes ‘Siri Song’

Brandes’ “Siri’s Song” from his debut album, The Distance Between Dreams, is a hauntingly beautiful standout that captures the essence of unattainable love. With a delicate arrangement of acoustic guitar, the song paints a poetic portrait of a woman who remains an ethereal and elusive presence, forever out of reach. Its sparse instrumentation and intimate delivery evoke a sense of longing and melancholy, drawing on the traditions of artists like Leonard Cohen and Nick Drake. As with much of the album, Brandes’s deeply reflective lyrics are paired with haunting melodies, weaving a narrative of sorrow and beauty that resonates with a profound emotional depth. “Siri’s Song” is a masterclass in understated storytelling, leaving listeners entranced by its fleeting beauty and poignant sentiment.

Suki Summer ‘Summer Crush’

With “Summer Crush,” Suki Summer delivers a sparkling slice of indie-pop that’s as effervescent as it is emotionally raw. Layered with dreamy synths and playful harmonies, the track captures the exact moment your heart skips a beat for someone new. What makes this single shine isn’t just its impeccable production, but Suki’s ability to balance confessional lyrics with pop sensibility. There’s a gentle vulnerability woven through her voice—part giggle, part sigh—that pulls you right into her world. It's flirty, nostalgic, and irresistibly replayable.

Neda Boin ‘I Release’

Floaty, emotional, and effortlessly soothing, Neda Boin’s “I Release” is the song you didn’t know you needed. It’s got that dreamy, late-night energy but with a side of soul healing. Imagine Sufjan Stevens met a sound bath and whispered, “Let it go.” Yeah — it’s like that.

Theresa ‘Definition Of Love’

With ‘Definition Of Love’, Theresa turns heartache into an anthem, delivering a track that’s as empowering as it is infectious. Bold, honest, and brimming with emotional clarity, the single blends addictive pop hooks with lyrics that hit deep—like a late-night journal entry wrapped in a dancefloor-ready beat. Her voice radiates both strength and softness, making each lyric feel like a shared secret. It’s not just a song—it’s a statement.

Marsha Swanson ‘Like an Angel’

“Like an Angel” is one of those rare music videos that doesn’t just accompany the song—it expands it. Marsha Swanson’s expressive performance and Chegini’s symbolic animation create a visual poem about loss, love, and the invisible bonds that never break. It’s gorgeous, moving, and quietly unforgettable—a true gem in the world of music visuals.
