Since releasing his debut EP ‘Movement 1’ last year, London based Meelo has since continued his work as a session musician (most notably as the go-to bassist for artists Goya Gumbani and Subculture), whilst his jazz band Respair secured headline slots at the London Jazz Festival and Ronnie Scott’s experimental upstairs stage. On new single “Day”, soundtracks Meelo reconnecting with his inner joy, offering up the primal exuberance which stems from attributing purpose to one’s life. Full of kinetic energy the massive driving synth chords and the infectious rhythm (a sped-up and morphed dub reggae drum sample), provide an ideal backdrop for the lyrics which cry out to “wake up” and do something and not let the time pass in vain. An infectious song full of freshness and high-octane joy, ‘Day’ is equal parts a celebration of life and a plea to seize the moment. Meelo is finding his lane as an artist and offers the idea that joy can be radically transformative.
