Multi gold and platinum awarded Swedish alt-pop artist, songwriter and LGBTQ icon Melanie Wehbeβs forthcoming album βBloom,β set off in spring of 2022, as a discography of beautiful songs aligned with the artistβs self-expression. Everything about this album is liberating that conveys her raw talent β from incredibly articulated lyrics to the melodies sung, as in all her singles before.
The album kicked off with an uplifting bold pop number βLike I Doβ β three minutes of empowerment, preposterously slept on in my opinion! The June release βAll the Restβ comes as a self-affirming ballad for those of us who are caught up in trying to mimic someone elseβs life or following their footsteps. The self-titled release βBloom,β will surely send shivers down your spine with an orchestral composition of effortless instrumentals, chugging guitar, sustained chords and Melanieβs raw emotions. In βNothing Like You,β thereβs a beacon of hope with Melanieβs recognizable combination of soft and soaring vocals, which she performed life at the Stockholm Pride 2022. While βRulesβ sounds on the verge of peaking on its own as a single over contemporary instrumentals and powerful vocals, itβs perfectly synced with the theme of the album, a graceful revolution to stand proud as you are.
Melanie keeps proving that she can take the simplest of words and mingle exceptional, cutting-edge tunes to create masterpieces. She took her time releasing each song, giving her listeners enough window to listen, process, add to their daily playlist and repeat over 86 times until the next arrival.
