Get ready to be spellbound by the enchantress herself, speakeazie, in “Forsaken Melodies.”

As a trailblazing indie pop artist, Speakeazie’s approaches have always evolved with the industry. However, her passion as a music artist has always been grounded…grounded in challenging the status quo via non-cookie-cutter sounds. She is a celestial force that rose from the heart of Minneapolis, shrouded in a veil of mystique that dazzles and enchants the airwaves. Synth, alternative, and dreamy pop dance and fuse under her sonic spell, creating an unforgettable experience that defies categorization in every way possible. She adores the sounds of the ’20s, which explains her noir aesthetics that is unmistakable in her music.

Speakeazie’s artistry is a cultural revelation, a testament to the power of local traditions infusing global trends. She is currently grabbing headlines following the release of her new EP titled, “Forsaken Melodies”- a 5-track raw, hugely melancholic masterpiece that wraps around a listener like a warm embrace, stirs their soul, and leaves them with something to reflect on long after the final notes have disappeared.

“Love Me Wild, Love Me Crazy” is less heard and more felt. The heavy synth leads create a cloud of the atmosphere within the track. The ambience goes in and out, consequently obscuring and accentuating the other elements of the track. Speakeazie then breathes life with her heavenly, dreamy, and hazy vocals with an incredible mezzo-soprano range that accounts for the broad-based appeal of the track. With lyrics exploring strong obsession and intimacy, a listener is bound to fall in love from just one listen.

The shape of “Don’t Come Crying to Me” is defined by the bass line, a stable element from which the rest of the instrumentation can wander around. Similarly, the synths ground the track with its full-on melodic content as Speakeazie’s chesty voice resonates on top of this shimmering ambiance like a bridge over water.

“Never Hurt You Like You Hurt Me” is upbeat with such an undeniably vibrant melody made from the synth leads, the driving bass line, and intricate percussion. Speakeazie then rounds out the track with her airy falsetto vocals; sliding through the soundscape and exuding such an irresistible melancholic allure.

Even now, I still can’t get enough of the beat in “Day Drink Till I Feel Ok.” It’s the kind of beat that makes you feel good, relaxed as you vibe to its feel, and get completely lost in its smoothness as Speakeazie’s breathy vocals serenade your soul!

Speakeazie is actually gearing towards the release of her new album, and “Forsaken Melodies” is such an amazing way to keep us all in high appetite for the greatness she is about to unleash!

The EP is available for streaming and download on all major platforms. For more details check out the link speakeazie.com
