Original Music
"NEVER LOVED YOU"
A jazz influenced RnB extravaganza, “Never Loved You” is the first single released by singer songwriter and multi instrumentalist Melvys. Tinged by the personal memories of a young girl in Miami, “Never Loved You” is a chill bop that'll pleasantly stay stuck in your head.
"CUERPO"
An intimate look into the inner working thoughts of Melvys, “Cuerpo” is her second released single, a true blend of her sophisticated jazz tastes and eclectic R&B/Soul. A truly raw example of human emotion and grace.
