"FROM THE MOMENT MELODY MUNITZ EXHALES HER FIRST PHRASE ON HER NEW SINGLE "SATELLITES," EVERYTHING RELAXES. THE HOPEFUL INNOCENCE CAPTURED BY HER CRYSTAL TONE CREATES A WAVE OF CALM.

AN INSTANT ADDITION TO EVERY CHILL SUMMER PLAYLIST, "SATELLITES" FOLLOWS HER SPRING DEBUT SINGLE, "AESTHETIC STRANGERS." BOTH SELECTIONS SHOWCASE HER ETHEREAL VOCAL QUALITY AND INNATE POETICISM.

​HER WORK GIVES VOICE TO OUR SHARED YEARNING FOR CONNECTION WHILE HER SOARING VOCALS LAUNCH US INTO THE DREAM OF WHAT COULD BE."
