NEW SINGLE: “DEADLY” OUT NOW
“Reflective, sophisticated, and emotionally rewarding.” – Foxfire Magazine
“Warmth…intimacy and uncluttered songwriting.” – No Transmission
“A dreamy blend of jazz-pop and indie-folk” – Lock Magazine
“Luscious, commanding vocals” – Mesmerized.io
"Wonderfully atmospheric …an unexpectedly uplifting celebration of renewal." --Mystic Sons
As autumn leaves begin to turn, Melinda Joy’s new jazz-pop single “Deadly” reflects on how “all things must end / so they can then begin,” in the spirit of the spooky season. The melody and refrain, “It’s been a little deadly in my dream,” arrived in a dream state. Upon waking, Melinda immediately recorded it into her voice notes app and scribbled out the lyrics in one sitting. Paradoxically, the tune conveys hope as well as gravitas, both lyrically and with a bright and dreamy arrangement. Recorded in Austin and London, it features Melinda’s silky vocals layered over a syncopated bass line, rolling piano, electric guitar, drums, and gospel choir-style harmonies from Son of Cormack, JT Martin, and Harrison Dean. “Deadly” is her third single release in 2026 (following “Out of the Blue” and “Too Late,” both duets) ahead of her next album, Dreaming, which will release in 2027.
