Harlem-based singer/songwriter/rapper Melii has shared her much-awaited new EP MOTIONS. Released via Rule#1/Interscope Records, the seven-track EP showcases the unapologetic yet vulnerable songwriting that’s made Melii one of 2019’s most exciting breakout stars.
Melii says, ”Motions EP .. is a vibe… we continue to grow together, I want to be able to give you music that’s more than just fun. It’s meaningful and relatable. This project is about giving the mob something to identify with as we peek into Sad Girl Winter.”
