Features : Melody Reyne Brings Freedom and Nostalgia with her Latest Single “Exposed”

Melody Reyne is an artist who makes music in multiple genres but one thing remains constant throughout them all: She has fun doing it. By making music that brings her a feeling of happiness, it never feels like a task to her. Whether she’s in Atlanta or Los Angeles, the music she creates is going to be done her way and fit her standards. Much of her music is centered around the topic of love and she approaches it from a standpoint of lightheartedness and freedom but - the intentionality is still constant. Her lyrics flow from her mind to the mic in a stream-of-consciousness approach that makes every song honest and authentic.

“Some songs are just easy to write and it doesn’t take long. I'm just always focused on delivering whatever feeling that I feel like goes with the music or the lyrics that are in the song.” she said.

Whether she’s crooning about love in an R&B track, bringing people to the dance floor or dropping bars, Melody’s music is a surprise practically every time. Her latest single, “Exposed” feels right at home in the R&B lane but there’s something special about it that Melody wants her listeners to experience.

“It has a nostalgic 90s classic vibe to me. It’s a new song but it feels like it’s been here before. I want people to feel that nostalgic warmth when they hear it and get all in their feels.” she said.

“Exposed” is the latest single from her upcoming project Damsel That Collects whose name flips the outdated expression “damsel in distress.” The title expresses the power of Melody’s place in the world as a woman doing things her way and not apologizing to anyone for it. This theme is the connecting through line across the whole project with each song being an expression of this perspective which Melody lives by.

“I’m still a damsel but I'm not in distress. I’m collecting my resources, I’m collecting a bag and I’m using my femininity to do it.  I don’t feel like I have to fit into any of the roles like a wife or mother that society tries to label women with. I’m in a good space right now and I feel like there are multiple other women in this space too. They’re damsels but they’re not in distress. They’re living their dreams and living their lives their way.” she said.

Melody keeps her fun, freedom based approach to music present in all aspects. “Exposed” was actually created while she was in the studio working on other music and with the idea coming from her producer Ozzy, the song just came together naturally in a spur of the moment way. For Melody, this type of collaboration is a regular occurrence and combining ideas is one of her favorite aspects of creating music. This mindset is sure to propel her further and further in the music industry and she brings in more people to bring her vision to life whether it be in the studio, shooting music videos or any creative endeavour she pursues.

“I look at it like a cocktail. I represent one ingredient and they represent others. They can bring something new out of me by sharing their ideas. I'm able to expand myself by working with other people and getting other people's points of view to create something fresh. By combining my talents, dreams and ideas with others, those people can also live their dreams and bring their talents together with mine. Collaboration allows me to be the catalyst for all of that.” she said.

As an artist with multiple plans and paths, Melody also stars in season two of OWN’s reality series, The Never Ever Mets which premiered April 4th, 2025. Melody is happy to have her song “Exposed” out at the same time as the show. With the song’s title and her life being exposed on camera, this point in time is truly a full circle moment. The intentionality continues to be the connecting thread in all that she pursues.

Melody Reyne plans to release her project Damsel That Collects on May 2nd with music videos for the songs to follow.
