Mel Fine “Alone Together”
Boston singer-songwriter Mel Fine tells an emotionally vulnerable yet captivating story about the yearning and doubts in a long-distance relationship on their sophomore single, “Alone Together.” Their smooth, soulful vocal effortlessly flows through melodies with a warm, airy timbre that is both intimate and sexy.
“Alone Together” has a lighthearted arrangement where the singer-songwriter style of storytelling meets a pop-edged aesthetic. Although emotional, the track always leaves you with enough space and oxygen to breathe and feel, safely and fully.
Mel Fine layered the acoustic guitars through multi-tracking, where the nuance between the instrument’s natural entrancing melodic timbre and its woody percussive strums are well-balanced. “Alone Together” also features a silky synth that softly supports the melody while enriching the mood and vibe that so perfectly captured the longing and insecurity of being on the opposite side of the country — “alone, together.”
The doubts, questions, longings, and tender feelings that occurred during a time of vulnerability are so well articulated in Mel Fine’s lyricism — they were words, but they speak the hearts.
