Mel Monaco – “Love Tides”

/

Suave vocals, frolicking woodwinds, and nostalgic string infusions are amongst the starring elements on the riveting “Love Tides,” the new single from Mel Monaco. The soulful, funk-inclined production is a stellar offering from the Canadian singer, songwriter, pianist, and guitarist from Muskoka, Ontario.

Described as “all about embracing the summer sunshine and celebrating love,” “Love Tides” struts a confident and optimistic demeanor throughout. “Don’t keep me waiting, no hesitating,” Monaco sings, culminating in the delightful “sunshine, blue skies,” chorus — reflecting the summer-y description with the expressive strings, woodwinds, and vocals.

The mid-point stirs with a brief spoken-word suaveness as the instrumentation takes center stage, emphasizing the production’s soulful charisma. The “sunshine,” chorus reprises thereafter with especially inviting appeal. “Love Tides” is a ravishing, livening showcase from Mel Monaco.

This and other tracks featured this month can be streamed on the updating Obscure Sound’s ‘Best of September 2023’ Spotify playlist.
