Personally, I learned how to write songs by simply sharing my journey and feeling how I naturally do.\\u201d For her debut EP When We\\u2019re Older, she has teamed up with eleven-time GRAMMY\\xae Award-winning artist Brandi Carlile, who is a mentor to Melton and joins as producer. Their musical chemistry is undeniable, rooted in mutual respect, shared taste, and an appreciation for good songwriting and musical catharsis. Inspired by the clear-eyed storytelling and indie rock influences of Taylor Swift and boygenius, Melton chronicles teenage relationships \\u2013 from the lonely pain of first love, unrequited love, friend crushes, joyous friendships, and the pain, fear and excitement of becoming an adult. She tells these stories as she\\u2019s living them, with a sharp eye for detail and lyricism that brings them to life. Her work has received praise from Variety, V Magazine, FLOOD, and Magnet Magazine. When We\\u2019re Older is a bold and generous opening statement from a newcomer who is destined to share her stories, and it\\u2019s available to stream or download now.\\n \\nTo learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy\\n \\n Learn more about your ad choices.
