Menajerie – ‘Melt’
‘Melt’ is a raw, seductive love song that captures the fluttering heartbeat and butterflies of new romance. With its neo-soul groove, romantic lyrics, funky wah guitar, soaring synths, and slinky rhythms, the song is both passionate and sweet. It reflects the blooming warmth of early love, hinting at the uncertainty of the future while remaining optimistic.
Menajerie’s frontwomen of the band Gracie Mack, “Melt is about that kind of love that turns your insides to liquid gold. I wrote the song in the early stages of a romance that felt really healing and special. Melt kinda feels to me like a mushy love song parading as a neo-soul groover. It’s enchanting, joyous, and a bit sexy.”
‘Melt’ challenges the familiar, pushing the boundaries of soul and exploring the twists and turns of love. The melody and lyrics together follow the strange path of falling in love, where everything feels both familiar and new.
