MELANIE? isn't about to start giving a shit about anyone else's opinions any time soon.
She's defiant in her outlook, staunch in her approach, and completely, utterly ruthless in her execution.
Take new single 'Yeah Yeah'. Raucous guitar pop with shades of The Runaways or even Courtney Love's misadventures, it's about empowerment, about moving on with your life.
She comments: “The song is about fighting through inner conflict to find your power after heartbreak.”
Moving around that taut guitar line, MELANIE? is positively prowling, her barbed lyrics slicing through the obstacles in her path.
She continues: "The words 'Yeah Yeah' are said by a woman who has found her confidence / Yeah Yeah, this didn't break me / Yeah Yeah, I got this / Yeah Yeah, I don't care anymore /Yeah Yeah, I can get through anything…"
We've nabbed first play of the video, and it's adorably gawky, featuring some neat home-shot footage.
It's MELANIE? strutting her stuff in a field, this tongue in cheek video that is both assertive and stylish while occupying a literal field of its own.
