Melina Diehl to pen mesmerizing new single, Seriously. *by Lorne Behrman
When adult alternative singer-songwriter Melina Diehl wrote her latest single, Seriously, she was reveling in a bubble of passion and bliss. Suddenly and painfully, her world burst, but not before she penned this gem of a single. Seriously is unlike anything the Brazilian artist has previously written. It retains her signature sophistication, but it has an urgently emotive pop vigor that is as epiphanic as the series of events that inspired it.
Its a stunning entry in Melinas artistic continuum. Seriously showcases a different side of my artistry. It was inspired by exploring modern pop and urban genres, and within this direction, I wrote antithetically and explored more range in my voice, she reveals. Melinas signature poetic vulnerability comes through on this track. "It was written to a man that I loved deeply, not just to confess what I was feeling, but to tell him who I am. Shes bravely emotive with lines such as: I cant leave my heart with our clothes on the floor.
The single is crafted around Melinas hypnotic, earthy but elegant acoustic guitar motif rooted in the strumming traditions of folk and boss nova. As Seriously gracefully unfolds, stormy electronic textures and a rugged urban beat enter, lending the track an arresting feeling of emotional recklessness. Seriously is smolderingly emotive, conjuring lovelorn longing, adult alternative pop sophistication, and an exotic sensibility that whisks the listener away.
Seriously was produced by DUDDY and co-produced by Melina Diehl, and features the talents of musicians DUDDY, Nathaniel James and Guy Azulay.
*Melinas is a Brazilian singer-songwriter with a distinct worldly pop aesthetic, and impeccable songcraft that has that has garnered her accolades back home in Brazil, plaudits from American critics, and her infectious style has won her favor with the hipster indie crew. Her refreshingly eclectic aesthetic references Gershwin, Cole Porter, the Beatles, the Beach Boys, Stevie Wonder, and bossa nova.
