[Pick Of The Week] Mel Denisse – “Going Nowhere”

Nashville artist, Mel Denisse, is a shoegaze/alt-rock dream. Influenced by everything from Deftones to Failure to Tori Amos, Denisse captures a sound that takes listeners back to the days of late night MTV binges while rooting herself right in the present.

Latest single, “Going Nowhere,” delves into themes of self-preservation vs. loyalty while trying to move forward without a safety net. The track is set to be featured on Denisse’s highly anticipated EP due out in 2026.

“‘Going Nowhere’ is a melancholy alt-rock/shoegaze track inspired by the fantasy book ‘The Serpent & the Wings of Night’ by Carissa Broadbent. With a nostalgic and reflective atmosphere, it ties to themes like survival by staying unseen, loyalty vs. self-preservation, and trying to move forward with nowhere to land.”
