Melody’s Echo Chamber is back with a new album, titled ‘Emotional Eternal’, set for release this spring. New single ‘Looking Backward’ is out now.
“I hope the record has that uplifting quality”, says Melody. “I wanted to be more grounded and mindful through the process. I guided the sessions with simplicity - a contrast with the maximalism of ‘Bon Voyage’ and the wilderness of my delusions. I made some big and impactful decisions and changes to my life. It took me to where it is peaceful, and I think the record reflects this. It’s more direct”.
Of the new single, she says: “’Looking Backward’ is a vivid, nonchalant, poetic march to the unknown. I wrote the lyrics on my way to Stockholm, in transit at the airport, there was a man creating light reflections with his watch and playing with light on the floors and walls. It felt like an act coming from a source of pure creativity, it made me happy to catch it and inspired me to write the song”.
‘Emotional Eternal’ is out on 29 Apr. Watch the video for ‘Looking Backward’ here:
