MELORIE JANE'S LATEST

MELORIE JANE UNLOCKS NEW POWER IN NEO-SOUL SINGLE: ‘NOW OPEN YOUR EYES' (REWORKED)

Neo-soul meets high-energy South African Jazz as award-winning artist Melorie Jane releases her explosive new single, “Now Open Your Eyes (Reworked),” on October 10th. 


This track is the definitive, festival-ready version of a song from her acclaimed album Hold the Stars, featuring a dynamic, self-performed rap section that encapsulates her signature vibrant sound. Recorded in an electrifying single take by her all-star quintet—featuring Sibusiso Matsimela on bass, Chanté Phillips on drums, Jesse Julies on sax, and Muneeb Hermans on trumpet—this is the statement version of the song that culminated in a powerful performance at the Cape Town International Jazz Festival this year. 


Lyrically inspired by God's loving invitation​ to relationship, the song is an urgent, powerful call to anyone on the verge of breakthrough, blending Melorie Jane’s signature award-winning style with an undeniable contemporary edge.
