Sparking Love Through Soundwaves

From the heart of Germany to the sunny streets of Riverside, California, something powerful is moving through the airwaves—and it’s spelled YURS. As Queen Meladee, I have the distinct honor of introducing an artist whose music doesn’t just sound good—it feels like purpose. YURS is not your average indie artist. He’s a composer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer on a mission to use melody as a megaphone for love, activism, and global collaboration.

It’s no surprise that YURS is quickly climbing the ranks on Melodic Playground Radio, capturing the ears and hearts of our international audience. His latest project, the dazzling EP Full of Love, is a soulful blend of jazzy pop vibes and global influence that hits just right—especially in times like these. Each track feels like a gentle revolution, inviting us to imagine a world rooted in compassion, connection, and consciousness.

What makes YURS truly stand out isn’t just his ear for a hook or his skills on multiple instruments—it’s his spirit. At a time when the world feels fragmented, YURS dares to stitch it back together with harmonies and heart. He’s collaborated with vocalists from across the globe to bring Full of Love to life, building bridges between cultures and perspectives through the universal language of music.

The result is an album that doesn’t just entertain—it uplifts. With every note, YURS reminds us that love is a powerful force, one capable of uniting us across borders and breaking through the static of division. Tracks like “Shine On” and “In This Together” radiate warmth and optimism, pairing breezy instrumentation with lyrics that lean into the light even when the world feels dark.

But make no mistake—this isn’t escapism. YURS's work is deeply rooted in a sense of social responsibility. There’s a subtle but unmistakable pulse of activism running through his music. He challenges us to be present, to care, to act. Whether he’s layering jazzy keys over rhythmic basslines or weaving a vocal harmony into a tapestry of hope, his message is clear: the world needs more love, and he’s here to deliver it—one song at a time.

As someone who constantly searches the globe for music with meaning, discovering YURS has been nothing short of inspiring. Here in Riverside, I feel his presence through every play on our station, and I know our listeners do too. It’s a beautiful thing when independent artistry rises to the top—not because of gimmicks or algorithms, but because the music speaks directly to the soul.

Vibing with Meladee has always been about spotlighting voices that deserve to be heard. And YURS? He’s one of those rare talents who doesn’t just create songs—he creates space. A space for collaboration, for kindness, and for collective healing. A space where indie music and meaningful message go hand in hand.

So let this be your sign to turn up the volume, share the love, and vibe out to YURS. Whether you’re driving down Magnolia Avenue in Riverside or walking along the cobbled streets of Germany, know that someone out there is composing magic just for you. And if you ask me, Full of Love is more than an album—it’s a movement.

Keep soaring, YURS. The world is listening.

KJ released new song Tragedy

If you’ve been keeping your ears close to the pulse of the independent music scene, then chances are you’ve already felt the impact of “Tragedy,” the emotionally charged new single from KJ featuring platinum-selling producer Mr. Mig. Released under the very impressive 418 Music, this track is quickly climbing its way into the hearts—and playlists—of listeners who crave music with real substance.

From the moment “Tragedy” hit the airwaves, it was clear that KJ had something special on her hands. With a haunting yet melodic soundscape crafted in collaboration with Mr. Mig, the track explores heartbreak, self-reflection, and growth, pulling listeners deep into an emotional narrative that resonates long after the last note fades. Melodic Playground Radio listeners heard that loud and clear, which is why “Tragedy” was added to daily rotation immediately upon release.

KJ's voice, laced with pain and purpose, cuts through the noise and speaks directly to the soul. “Tragedy” doesn’t just echo familiar feelings—it gives them new life.

Behind this breakout moment is Young Outlaw Music, a label that’s quickly making a name for itself by doing things differently. Founded by artist and producer Briana Richel and operating out of Atlanta, Georgia, YOM is more than just a record label—it’s a movement. With ties to powerhouse entities like 418 Music, Virgin Music, and Universal Music Group, YOM has the reach of a major with the heart of an indie. Their mission? To champion real artists, push creative boundaries, and connect talent with audiences who truly listen.

And in KJ, YOM has found a star who embodies that mission perfectly. As an artist, she’s unafraid to be vulnerable. As a storyteller, she’s deliberate and impactful. And as a rising voice in the indie world, she’s undeniably making waves. With “Tragedy” already creating buzz across the scene, it’s safe to say that this is just the beginning.

For those of us curating soundtracks for real life—late-night drives, heartbreak recoveries, moments of clarity—KJ’s new single is essential listening. Whether you’re discovering her for the first time or have been following her journey from the jump, “Tragedy” is the kind of song that sticks with you. And with Young Outlaw Music steering the ship, we’re confident this won’t be the last time KJ finds her way into your speakers—and your soul.
