Step into the moody, electronic-charged world of “Art” – the latest single from artist Melanie Wehbe. “Art” tells the story of a powerful love that tests your limits yet is persistently & overwhelmingly plentiful in beauty. With a piano-laced introduction transitioning into an all-out power-pop anthem, Wehbe masters balancing the highs & lows of being completely in love with someone. While “Art” is overall a positive, upbeat pop track, it doesn’t shy away from showing realistic, sometimes difficult aspects of being in love. Wehbe uses both qualities to her advantage, allowing “Art” to blossom from one thing to the next while entirely staying truthful to the story. The song doesn’t allow itself to be defined but shines brilliantly in the pop realm, leaning into aspects that make it almost sound like a fight song. Wehbe is a force that steers this ship beautifully, yet she leaves room in this track for some things to just simply & beautifully speak for themselves – like the title “Art”.
“Art” reflects on a love story that displays honesty, hardship, and pure enjoyment. The line “Bring back your broken heart and then put it together like a piece of art”, in itself details the nature of the relationship / subject in this track. While the world may pose a threat to them as a couple at times, or the couple as individuals, this relationship is truly “Art” and cannot be broken down. The sentiment behind the lyrics within this song create a freeing, expressive, and truly fun environment – it’s a safe place both for listeners and the subjects within “Art”. Not only is this displayed through Wehbe’s upbeat and layered voice, but additionally in the song’s build-up. “Art” builds upon itself, keeps it real, yet remains positive despite pressure at times – much like the relationship in the track, as well as how Wehbe views individual journeys of exploration.
Melanie Wehbe is a gold & platinum-certified artist, storyteller, and LGBTQ+ singer-songwriter from Sweden with Armenian & Lebanese roots. By age fourteen, Wehbe began writing songs as a way to navigate her identity and learn to embrace it. She made her debut in 2022 with the EP ‘Bloom’ – a reflection of her own journey to accept and find strength within herself. Following her work for artists featured on platforms like Eurovision, Swedish Idol, etc., Wehbe stepped out of the role of writing hits for other people and began showcasing her music. Since stepping into this transition, Wehbe has performed shows across the UK, Spain, Germany, etc., as well as closed events like Stockholm Pride. Her music continues to explore self-expression, healing, and balancing creation within differing environments – furthering the self-discovery journey Wehbe is on and the emotional impact her music makes.
