“I like to ‘Frankenstein’ a track.” MEL DENISSE channels inner Enya on ‘Like a Fiend’
ACCOMPANIED by swirling, haunting memories of both Enya and This Mortal Coil, Nashville-based singer-songwriter MEL DENISSE today releases the single ‘Like a Fiend,’ a collaboration with Micah Tawlks (Hayley Williams, Noah Kahan, Ashe).
“I like to ‘Frankenstein’ a track,” she said. “If a heavy riff and a delicate melody look wrong together on paper, that’s exactly what pulls me in. If the song makes you feel a gentle gut punch – that’s the point. I’m slipping mirrors into the track, so you have to sit with whatever stares back.”
With a childhood split between Florida and Turkey, Denisse has crafted a song combining classically tinged vocals, spiked with Eastern scales, as ‘Like a Fiend’ explores duality, obsession, and the constant tug‑of‑war between self‑preservation, and self‑destruction.
