MELØ, “Mysteria”
“Mysteria” is an instant earworm that takes you there and back to that individualized enigmatic place of fantasy and fun. The singer/songwriter is Windsor, Ontario based MELØ, whose appealing vocal and easy-to-digest songwriting style go a long way – you’ll have no problem singing along to the hook of “Mysteria” after a few listens. While the goal is purely contemporary pop, “Mysteria” is full of early 80’s melodic vibes – which seems very in vogue now for some reason – that draw perhaps from strong, memorable songs by Hall & Oates, David Bowie, and Cyndi Lauper. MELØ knows what he’s doing and has a full album called Songs From The Spirit Box coming that will put his diverse influences on display. For now “Mysteria” is convincing pop candy that you’ll have on repeat.
