SONGWRITER MELODY FEDERER SHARES NEW SINGLE “FALLING OUT”
Despite its enigmatic nature, Melody Federer's music is charming and candid. She honed her craft in New York, Paris, Los Angeles, Nashville, Seattle, and back to Nashville, where she continues to garner recognition as an emerging artist in Indie and Alternative music. Her new single, "Falling Out," examines the ease of falling in love versus the difficulty of falling out.
“It’s like we get sucked into this beautiful fantasy so fast, chemicals firing off in our brain, cheeks glowing, every love song come to life, aka ‘spring has sprung’—-that magical phase that has inspired poets and musicians and painters and writers and dancers and every other human who’s been lucky enough to feel it since the dawn of time—-and then...just like that, love can be over…Your best friend is a stranger. Your lover is an enemy. You’re ‘falling out’, with no wings or parachute to catch you, through dream you can’t wake yourself up from. And you just have to keep falling until you hit rock bottom. And you live there for a while. And every day feels unending. The longing gnaws at you. But you keep breathing somehow. And hopefully, eventually, you get yourself up, brush the dirt off, and hope to have the courage to maybe someday try falling into the whole love thing again. It’s a dangerous, beautiful business, love. “Falling Out” started as an acoustic guitar song. Then it turned into a sort of synth-pop animal.”
In addition to being a well-known solo artist, she also writes for a variety of musicians, and her stage presence is easily adaptable to a range of genres. As a guest of legends in the industry, she is able to capture a room with just her voice and guitar.
She has been seen at the Musee D'Orsay in Paris, Paris Fashion Week, the Royal Hall in London, Harvard Clubs, Zinc Clubs, The Basement in Nashville, and Moroccan Lounges and Sabans in Los Angeles, her talent has taken her to iconic venues and buzzing clubs across the globe. Her past solo tracks have been featured on SiriusXM and tastemaker radio stations like WXPN and KUCI as well as numerous other shows and festivals in major North American and European cities.

She shares the songwriting room with GRAMMY Award Winners Emory Dobyn, Mike Pool, Daniel Tashian, as well as GRAMMY Nominees Scott Chesak, Billy Mann, Chad Carlson, and Roget Chahayed because of her word play and emotional, memorable, and passionate toplines.
