‘Melina Malone has one of the strongest voices in Ireland.’ - GoldenPlec, 2020

Dublin-born Irish-Greek artist Melina Malone is quickly becoming one of the most exciting voices in neo-soul. Praised for her powerhouse vocals and emotive songwriting, Melina has carved out a unique space for herself with her debut album Aphrodite (October 2023). Her sound is a blend of honest lyrics, sultry melodies, and an eclectic mix of Soul, R&B & Jazz.

She opened for Grammy-winning jazz legend Gregory Porter at his sold-out Cork Opera House show and has shared stages with iconic acts like Macy Gray, Katie Tupper and Morcheeba. Her breakout year also saw her perform at Ireland Music Week, receive a stunning 9/10 album review from Hotpress Magazine, and garner support from BBC Radio 1, RTE 2FM, Notion, Noctis Mag, Earmilk, Today FM and more.

Her latest singles ‘Stuck on You’ and, "If I Have to Change", are standout releases that showcase Melina’s evolving sound. Inspired by the quick-witted lyricism of Amy Winehouse, the singles capture Melina’s deeply rich vocal while reflecting the vulnerability and strength at the heart of her songwriting. They have both been widely praised, with support from Irish & UK radio, and earning placements on numerous Spotify editorial playlists, including New Music Friday UK, Fresh Finds, R&B UK and BUTTER. ‘If I Have to Change’ also earned Melina the coveted cover of Riffs and Runs, solidifying her position as one of the best new voices in R&B.

Known as one of the strongest live performers in Ireland due to her ability to connect deeply with her audience, coupled with her vocal prowess, makes her live shows unforgettable experiences.

While shades of Winehouse and Badu are present, Malone carves her own identity, not only through her songwriting, but with her powerful and controlled vocals…and has undeniably raised the benchmark for Irish R&B….9/10” -
