She stormed into the music business in 2019 with the release of \u201cSummer Love\u201d, a collaboration with international star Tory Lanez . The single, which charted on Billboard\u2019s Top 100 and Apple Music\u2019s Top 10 in RnB &amp; Soul, highlighted her uncanny ability to craft genre-defying songs that blend styles like hip-hop, pop and reggae. With momentum on her side, Melxdie released &#8216;Girls R Better&#8217;, a reggae infused single featuring dancehall sensation Mavado, which quickly went viral on Tik Tok amassing over 21 million views and more than 2,000 videos.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Melxdie enjoys challenging the norms of society and creating a full package of audio and visual art that pushes boundaries. Her upbeat personality is truly magnetising and nearly as alluring as her seductively irresistible tracks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Find Melxdie online on <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/3Qu4RzFokPNQU3HufxcVW3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spotify<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/MelxdieOfficial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/melxdieofficial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/melxdie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@melxdieofficial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TikTok<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/melxdieofficial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/melxdie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SoundCloud<\/a>, and her <a href=\"https:\/\/melxdie.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s the 14th door on our Essential Advent Calendar, December 14, and behind it we find Melxdie (\u201cmel-o-dy\u201d), an emerging pop singer currently bringing her new Christmas anthem &#8216;YOU&#8217;\u00a0to the global stage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":15961,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[3768,7,57,9,21453],"tags":[470,3938,26640,989,77,370,3787,8972],"class_list":["post-66304","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-christmas","category-music","category-new-artists","category-new-releases","category-new-singles","tag-christmas","tag-essential-advent-calendar","tag-melxdie","tag-new-artist","tag-new-release","tag-new-single","tag-the-essential-advent-calendar","tag-you"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5yMhl-hfq","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":79096,"url":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2022\/12\/the-essential-advent-calendar-december-18-uk-pop-artist-lauren-amour-releases-christmas-song-please-santa\/","url_meta":{"origin":66304,"position":0},"title":"The Essential Advent Calendar: December 18 &#8211; UK Pop Artist Lauren Amour Releases Christmas Song, &#8216;Please Santa&#8217;","author":"Essentially Pop","date":"18\/12\/2022","format":false,"excerpt":"'Please Santa' is the new single from Lauren Amour, and it's behind the 18th door of the 2022 Essential Advent Calendar.","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Christmas&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Christmas","link":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/category\/archived-categories\/christmas\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/advent-calendar-18.png?fit=1200%2C953&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/advent-calendar-18.png?fit=1200%2C953&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/advent-calendar-18.png?fit=1200%2C953&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/advent-calendar-18.png?fit=1200%2C953&ssl=1&resize=700%2C400 2x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/advent-calendar-18.png?fit=1200%2C953&ssl=1&resize=1050%2C600 3x"},"classes":[]},{"id":85150,"url":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2023\/12\/the-essential-advent-calendar-december-12-sixties-hitmaker-brian-hyland-releases-sealed-with-a-kiss-60th-anniversary-single-along-with-a-little-bit-of-christmas-time\/","url_meta":{"origin":66304,"position":1},"title":"The Essential Advent Calendar &#8211; December 12: Sixties Hitmaker Brian Hyland Releases \u2018Sealed With A Kiss\u2019 60th Anniversary Single Along With \u2018A Little Bit of Christmas Time\u2019.","author":"Essentially Pop","date":"12\/12\/2023","format":false,"excerpt":"Legendary American Singer\/Songwriter Brian Hyland has released 2 new special songs on Solar Music.
