Melina Hazewood, the 16-year-old sensation, is taking the music world by storm with her latest single “Dear Boy”. With her soulful voice and heartfelt lyrics, Melina has captured the hearts of many, including the judges at The Golden Voices International Singing Contest where she was awarded Best Singer-Songwriter and Coup du Jury.
Set to be released on March 1st, “Dear Boy” is a pop-ballad that showcases Melina’s signature powerful vocals. The song, which was originally written in 2020, tells the story of a young love that is overshadowed by preconceived notions and expectations. Drawing inspiration from artists like Adele and Celine Dion, as well as the 70s French pop scene, Melina’s music is a beautiful blend of contemporary and classic influences. But that’s not all, her love for music goes back to her mother who was a musical writer herself, instilling a deep passion for music in Melina from a young age. “Dear Boy” is a playful yet thought-provoking song that explores the idea of being loved for who you are, rather than who people perceive you to be. In her own words, Melina explains, “The girl in the song is trying to make the boy see that there is more to her than what meets the eye. She wants to be loved for her real self, not just a superficial image.”
Fans of Adele, Celine Dion, and Lana Del Rey are sure to fall in love with Melina’s unique sound and heartfelt lyrics. So mark your calendars for March 1st and get ready to be swept away by the raw talent of this award-winning teen singer-songwriter. Don’t miss out on the release of “Dear Boy” on all major platforms.
