Sometimes brilliant things come together quickly and Melanie Wehbe’s latest single Sugarcoat is the perfect example of this. The track began coming to fruition a mere six weeks ago with the Swedish singer teaming-up with co-writers Patrik Jean and Herman Gardarfve on the addictive new single.
“If you wanna go you should go, No I don’t want you to go / But if you already know / Baby don’t sugar coat…” Melanie sings against anthemic percussion in this ode to independence. The song captures the battle between wanting the positives of a relationship, but not being prepared to waste time when it isn’t going anywhere. With a punky defiance in her vocals, Sugarcoat is an immediate earworm that shines as one of Melanie’s strongest tracks.
The singer shared: “Six weeks ago this song didn’t even exist!? I just had to release it as quick as possible so I could end a chapter and start a new one. So here’s SUGARCOAT a liberating song that will help us move on!!“
As well as having a successful solo discography, Melanie has also written for fellow Swedes Måns Zelmerlöw, Lena Hedlund and The Mamas.
