Last February, Melanie Cowmeadow brought a tear to my eye when she paid tribute to her late father with the single “Dear Dad.” This year she’s making me smile with her latest release, “Snakes & Ladders.” It’s a much more upbeat number that stays true to the country sound Melanie’s known for.
“I wanted to write something that captured how life can sometimes feel like a game,” she explained. “Sometimes you’re climbing that ladder, other times you slip down a snake, but you keep going. This song is my way of making light of those moments that can feel heavy.”
“Snakes & Ladders” is the title track from Melanie’s forthcoming debut EP which tells relatable stories of love, loss, and personal growth. Follow her on the socials to hear more about it ahead of its release later this year.
