Bongo Boy Records has welcomed another new artist to their roster, and her debut single, Little Gold Spark, released July 17, is a compelling introduction.
Melissa Reed describes her debut Bongo Boy Records release as an “uplifting celebration of life’s simple moments and the joy found in everyday experiences… [encouraging] listeners to embrace gratitude, appreciate the present, and recognize the small sparks of happiness that make life truly meaningful.”
All true – and Little Gold Spark is bolder than that description lets on.
Eclectic dance-pop vibes are served with the theatrical edge of a Lady Gaga anthem, dripping with hyper-imaginative electronic elements ready to shock, dazzle, and exhilarate. Melissa leaves no stone unturned as she lays abstract string solos over EDM beats, slices simpler sections with artful sonic chaos, and supercharges each chorus with pure sing-along potential.
Her eccentric, kaleidoscopic sound is crowned with daredevil vocals full of personality, originality and femme fatale aesthetics; moments of darkness flashing into neon and fleeting melodies possessing a whispery, Billie Eilish edge. Little Gold Spark’s restless soundscape is infectious from the first beat to the last as hints of gothicism emerge in the most unlikely places, the three-minute track undergoing constant evolution that keeps you gripped and desperate for an extended cut.
This is a club hit set to hype up the night owls of the next generation, and blow the minds of any electronic music aficionados in your circle once you add it to your party playlist. We’re already obsessed with Melissa Reed’s fearless ingenuity, and can’t wait to hear more from the breakthrough star. Our final verdict? Highly recommended.
