Melody Alanna casts off millennial ennui on sugary-sweet "American Dreams"

Bogged down in the less-than-glamourous reality of student loans and mundane adulthood, Melody Alanna sought comfort in the same place as most her age - the internet. It quickly became apparent that her own struggles bore marked similarities to those of all millennials, a generation for whom the American Dream has regularly been said to have finally perished.

Spurred on by this concept, and determined to prove the commentators wrong, Melody Alanna embarked on an investigation of what the American Dream has become to millennials. “It has simply morphed into a concept with no boundaries; a concept that can be defined by the individual. The American Dream has transformed into what we are creating it to be. We are making our own rules for our future, and its glorious.”

The culmination of this research, investigation, and exploration, is the bittersweet (and aptly named) “American Dreams”. Laced with a cotton-candy vocal over dramatically swelling pop, it will easily slot into the record collections of fans of darker pop such as Melanie Martinez, Lana Del Rey, or Marina and the Diamonds.
