The 16-year-old singer says of the song, "From the beginning, I did not want to do bland pop songs that go in one ear and out the other. Initially, I leaned the other way." "Some of my early songs were rock songs (inspired by bands like Paramore and Evanescence). Ultimately, I decided that I want to make music that is more mainstream and fun to enjoy with my friends. So, now I focus on creating pop music with my own stamp, which I call 'a touch of urban edge.'" Stream the new song here.
Nat Motte and Sean Foreman sat down and talked holiday music with CBS Local and revealed a few holiday traditions we're still scratching our heads about. "My favorite Christmas song is 'Jingle Balls,'" Nat confessed. "I just remember being the bad boy in elementary school class and when you're singing 'Jingle Bells' you just put the balls in there." Sean was very confused. "I thought it was 'Jingle Balls.' No one told me any different," he remarked. Find out what Sean's favorite is.
My band mates always tease me and tell me I have an odd taste in men. But I can't help it- I like what I like! One Saturday night in April, we were out playing in a club and in the back of the room, sitting at the bar I see this guy. Blonde hair, handlebar mustache, dark eyes. On stage I turned to my bassist, Pablo, and said to him "Dude�do you see that guy at the end of the bar- he's so cute, I can't stop looking at him." When I noticed the guy at the bar was looking at me too- I really wanted him to come talk to me after the show. Right as he was about to leave, he did. I felt like a middle-school girl. For the rest of the night, I was all smiles and the boys in the band were laughing at me, trying to figure out what it is I see in the guys I like. When I went home that night- the idea for "I Spy" was born. Co-producer for the song, Jason Weiss, came up with the title and we brought the idea to my good friends and writing partners Ben Samama and Charlie Snyder. The final song was produced by Chris Leon and Jason Weiss in Chris' apartment in NYC. Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself here and learn more about Melanie right here!
