new music: alternative r&b singer mélat debuts heavenly vocals on new album “méven” featuring xavier omar and sylvan lacue

R&B is making a major comeback in 2016 and Mélat is making it known that her place right in the thick of it. This revival hasn’t come without significant upgrades and a lot of flavor from the likes of electronica, jazz, and soul, and Mélat’s new “MéVen” project is certainly making waves. Smooth and spicy collaborations from Xavier Omar (formerly SPZRKT) and Sylvan LaCue, this newcomer’s offering is as strong as they come. Honest storytelling and an almost surreal vulnerability permeate this record, and this songbird’s soprano lifts each song from the ground til its soaring through the air and into our hearts. But don’t take my word for it, listen to this 11-track project and let the mood settle all around you.
