Afro-sexy Poster Girl Mellissa releases new single ‘Happy’
Today, Ghanaian Singer Mellissa (a rising artist from the UK) is releasing her new single ‘Happy’ along with a visualiser that’s sure to evoke nostalgia. ‘Happy’ is a captivating love letter that carefully skilfully balances cuteness and maturity. Mellissa’s soft voice resonates with the style of Amaarae, a connection that’s reinforced by her feature on the standout track ‘FEEL A WAY’ from Amaarae’s debut album, ‘THE ANGEL YOU DON’T KNOW’. Yet, Mellissa's hypnotic vocals also draw comparisons to Kali Uchis, affirming her status as the poster girl for Afro-sexy.
The dreamy beats, incorporating Latin, Afrobeats, Reggae, Soul, and R&B elements, are brought to you by North London Producer E-Whiz, who has also collaborated with artists such as Sampha and Ragz Originale. Additionally, Mellissa, who was recognised as one of Apple Music’s African Rising Artists for 2023—an incredible achievement—is set to release her debut project later this summer.
