Melys have launched their new single “Sgleinio” (“Shine”) and it’s wonderful.
The synth-infused indie pop track is the next single from their upcoming album “Second Wind,” arriving on April 12th.
In the glare of the modern online world, “Sgleinio” (Shine) explores the pressures of online life and social media and the need for self-acceptance. In true Melys style, Sgleinio begins with stripped back verses that feature the old art of finger clicks and claps before its chorus bursts into life with lush layered vocals, crashing guitars and analogue synths.
“Sgleinio’ came from seeing the difficulties of comparing ourselves with others online. We all have some experience of this, either personally or seeing someone close to us struggle. We put too much pressure on ourselves to project the perfect image, and I wanted to create a song that reminds us that we’re enough just as we are.” – Andrea
