Mel Denisse “Like a Fiend” is a genre-bending good time
Mel Denisse is a magical new artist that just came to my attention. Her latest single is called “Like a Fiend” and it is a masterful blend of indietronica, rock and alternative pop.
Described as a song about a creature who is “split between two selves, flipping from fragile confession to manic euphoria in a heartbeat,” the track’s music echoes this dark theme with haunting backdrops and colliding beats. Mel Denisse’s mesmerizing vocal delivery elevates the song as one of the most exciting releases of the summer. Echoing bass with eclectic synths also add to the musicality, making for an all encompassing listen.
Mel Denisse takes influence from the likes of Failure, Deftones and Tori Amos. She incorporates a wide range of styles while giving the audience an existential story that really resonates. With more music coming, we can’t wait to hear what’s next from this exciting new artist.
