MELODRIFT: MUSIC OF THE WEEK (27.06.25)

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

Seb Adams ‘Rearview Mirror’

‘Rearview Mirror’ opens Bittersweet Nostalgia with a surge of cathartic energy, as Seb Adams channels the spirit of ‘90s pop-punk through a modern, emotionally raw lens. The track is both a farewell to toxic pasts and a rallying cry for self-liberation, driven by crunchy guitars, punchy drums, and a melody that sticks. It’s a fitting opener—bold, unfiltered, and full of the hope that comes with finally looking forward.

KERI ELLE ‘MOVE OVER’

KERI ELLE is not here to ask for space—she’s taking it with “Move Over,” her fierce, funk-soaked second single off the upcoming album ELLE IS FOR LOVE. Teaming up once again with SHREDTVT, the track is an unapologetic, head-nodding mix of soulful R&B throwback vibes and empowering modern energy, dripping with confidence and groove. It’s Lauryn Hill-meets-Timbaland by way of a late-night jam session in 2004, and KERI’s voice absolutely owns every beat, soaring from silky smooth to deliciously defiant. SHREDTVT’s verse lands like a motivational mic drop, grounding the track in raw truth while keeping the rhythm locked. “Move Over” isn’t just a song—it’s a statement, a strut, and a celebration of unapologetic self-worth that marks KERI’s boldest chapter yet.

Sean Bertram ‘What’s On Your Mind’

Sean Bertram’s “What’s On Your Mind” is like your favorite soul party crashing a deep heart-to-heart — smooth grooves meet raw emotion in the best way possible. With layers of guitar, vocals, and live drums that keep things fresh and funky, Bertram channels Prince and MJ vibes without missing a beat. It’s proof that heartbreak doesn’t have to be sad; sometimes it’s a celebration you can dance to!

Suki Summer ‘used to you’

“used to You” wraps heartache in a silky, soft soundscape, gently unpacking themes of complacency, regret, and mutual neglect. This beautifully understated track asks the hard questions about love’s true authenticity when both hearts start taking each other for granted. Introspective and melancholy, it’s the kind of song that quietly lingers long after the last note fades—perfect for those late-night reflections on what love really means.

Peter Doran ‘Never Say Goodbye’

With “Never Say Goodbye,” Peter Doran crafts a song that feels both ancient and immediate, marrying seafaring folklore with lush, experimental folk instrumentation. The Josh Wagner-directed video deepens the emotional resonance, immersing viewers in the song’s windswept world. It’s a quietly devastating piece—gentle in its delivery, yet monumental in its emotional weight.
