Ballad Heavyweight, Adam Melchor Drops His ‘Fruitland’ EP Wrapped in a Bling Belt

Everyone has the power of choice. And when you choose to pay attention, it may mark the dawn of a new era in your career. Thankfully, music handpicked Adam Melchor, and he opted to listen. Fans are now listening to his new Fruitland EP, released via Warner Music.

Born in Jersey with several music teachers in his family, Melchor grew up surrounded by tunes and melodies. He worked tirelessly to establish himself with Warner Music, studying classical voice and writing a song with Charlie Puth. He also took his talents to Brooklyn, where he formed a band, but it was here on the West Coast where an A&M producer gave Adam his first break.

With captivating and diverse work already in his arsenal, there is a new variant of cleverness about this singer and songwriter. Melchor can blend genres and create a sound that is uniquely his own. Listening to Fruitland is like taking an unhurried 18-minute stroll through your favorite park. Fruitland showcases Adam’s immense talent as a musician and captures the essence of his current artistic journey.

Fruitland paints a genuine image of soulful and tantalizing ballads. Elaborate in an unassuming way, this EP will surely resonate with listeners, thanks to Melchor’s passionate vocals and sincere lyrics, like a woman that “Devastates you with the truth and white lies.” The project is almost daring listeners to challenge Adam’s lyrical perspective on love and heartbreak.

Grounded and centered, Melchor doesn’t repurpose music ideas from other artists. It’s all about Adam Melchor and his songs. 

Fruitland also brings an entirely new perspective to ballads with Melchor’s track “Peach,” which is magically sexy and articulate.

Fruitland is distinct in look and sound and evidence of Melchor’s dedication and unmatched appetite for his craft. I believe that Fruitland is a sentimental experience while revealing the humble layers of Melchor.

To coincide with the release of the Fruitland EP, Melchor has introduced fans to a captivating video for the track “BIGTIMEGOODTIME.” Directed by Matt King and Mike Sheffer, the video perfectly complements the song’s laid-back vibe. With stunning visuals and a compelling narrative, the video takes viewers on a visual journey that enhances the overall listening experience.

As a new and casual fan, I’m convinced anyone could listen to Fruitland a dozen times and still hear something new.
