MELINA HAZEWOOD - Memories are now Ghosts

Melina Hazewood’s ‘Our Memories Are Now Ghosts’

Rising British-French artist Melina Hazewood released her latest single, “Our Memories Are Now Ghosts,” just last month. Despite her young age, Hazewood demonstrates a maturity in songwriting and artistry that goes beyond her years, positioning her as a young talent with a seasoned soul.

"Our Memories Are Now Ghosts" draws from Hazewood’s reflections on a past love, illustrating how someone can remain a part of you long after they are no longer in your life. The lyrics delve into the haunting memories of what might have been if the relationship hadn't ended, capturing the essence of love's lingering ghosts. The song poignantly addresses the relatable struggle of accepting that what once was is truly over.

The track masterfully juxtaposes Melina’s powerful, melancholic melody with a rhythmic pop production that is both simple and catchy. Centered around an acoustic piano, the song exudes a dreamy and intimate quality, akin to a whispered secret.

This minimalist approach allows Melina's ethereal vocals to take center stage, creating a track that remains relatable while also being poignant - a hard line to master. Her voice floats above the gentle strumming, creating a soundscape that feels both personal and universally resonant, much like a shared memory.
