Melanie Masson has just released her latest single, ‘Seasons’, a beautiful take on Future Islands’ hit single ‘Seasons (Waiting on you)’, already receiving huge praise from the band’s assist, who deemed it a “Beautiful Version”.
The single comes as a follow up from her acclaimed first single ‘Why Don’t You Love Me?‘. Produced by the renowned producer Tristan Longworth, using only live musicians and instruments, the track showcases Melanie’s beautiful vocal talent and brings us back to a time when music was pure, untampered and beautiful.
Check out the video below!
The beautifully-shot video was created by the critically acclaimed director Simone Lahbib (currently a regular in Eastenders) and sets exactly the type of scene that we wish to return back to post-pandemic! Simone features in the video herself alongside Melanie’s husband and kids. The video was edited and filmed by Rik Argent for Plan Bee Films.
“I loved the melody and lyrics to Seasons and really connected to it. It felt very reflective yet optimistic and that’s the mood I wanted to create for the video. I wanted to send out a positive message. It feels like we’re all in the same challenging situation right now…
…We all have our struggles, our ups and down but there’s always hope. It’s about hanging on to what’s important, taking strength from that and holding onto the belief that better days are coming. It’s a message to everyone to hang on in there.”
