Mélanie J-b Charles is an artist with the spiritual vigour of Nina Simone. She's a Brooklyn-born singer-songwriter, actress and flutist of Haitian descent, with a creative fluidity spanning jazz, soul, experimental, and Haitian roots music. She's just released a live bootleg of her song 'Lamp is Low', mixed by herself and mastered by BaeBro. Melancholic saxophones open the song, swiftly transforming into a groove-based banger with a rumbling funk bass line and jazzy electric guitar. Melanie's vocals dance with energy and melisma, singing "dream and watch the shadows come and go". Snippets of unchained scat colourise the track as backing vocals sing the hook "I remember the way you used to love me". Loosen up with 'Lamp is Low'. -Ellie Rose-Davies
