MELE

In the artist's words:

"Sometimes it comes into my head like a ray, and then suddenly I've been given a chorus" - this is how MELE describes what it can feel like, the moment when you have the perfect inspiration for a song. MELE's songs have an above-average number of these moments, which certainly explains why some of them have been streamed millions of times. Or why she has already supported artists such as OK Kid, Grossstadtgeflüster, KLAN and Roy Bianco & Die Abbrunzati Boys and performed at major festivals such as Southside, Deichbrand and Open Flair. She is currently working on her debut album, which is planned for summer 2024.

The accompanying "Alle schauen" tour starts in October 2024 and is now on sale!

MELE writes lyrics that sound like they were picked up somewhere between alcohol-fueled flat-sharing party conversations, nocturnal escapades in the streets of the big city and diary-like fragments of thoughts in which you don't have to hide your most intimate worries and longings. She sings with a voice that is sonorous and pleasantly unagitated, casual and strangely effortless - just like someone you're talking to. Because that's exactly how her songs feel: They are not imposed on you, but pick you up where you are. With lyrics that are as true-to-life as they are humorous, extremely casual and yet never off the wall, straightforward and always with a good dose of self-irony, MELE succeed in capturing the zeitgeist, this fleeting thing. This also applies to the productions: Situated at the interface between leftfield and German pop, clubby-electronic influences and a clear penchant for rap, their tracks are almost immediately addictive.
