MFN Melo • "S.W.S."
It's been a long minute since we last heard from Pivot's own MFN Melo. A favorite through the end of last year and through the summer months, it appears Melo took the wintertime seriously, hibernating in the studio only to pop out as spring bears down on us with his latest offering in "S.W.S." that hit the public Monday afternoon.
Racking up just over a couple thousand plays since it's release, this single is a proven show of growth for Melo, who has honestly evolved before our eyes since popping out last year with a string of talented singles that had everyone around the TheseDays team bumping his work regularly on our podcasts and radio shows. Here, he does his thing over The Internet's recent hit, "Girl" with Kaytranada off of their Ego Death album. Check it out above.

"Studio Ground Rules,” the third single off the yet untitled project, is a rundown of the Pivot Gang etiquette.
Far more than a visual with an ideal narrative or message, “Sirens” bridges a gap between generations before and after… echoing the prophetic sentiments of their predecessor Amaru Shakur.
With a fluid and easily memorable chorus, Saba’s voice shines through the synth background in “Where It’s At” and attempts to carve his name as one of 2018’s greatest.
“Papaya” is the type of song you run in the background while lulling yourself into an imaginative daydream, getting lost in not only the lyrics and beautiful sound, but the emotion that flows through it.
Rolling out singles in such a steady pace as Saba continues on his tour representing Chicago overseas, is an impressive feat alone.
Saba’s collaborations and work with other artists always demonstrates the skill each one has and brings out something more for each person involved
Saba consistently proves himself to be on top of the game. With his album, Care For Me, which dropped in April, he follows up with his new single “Stay Right Here” and does not disappoint
Taking a step back and acknowledging the bigger picture, the triumph of Pivot Gang’s You Can’t Sit With Us is what makes it even more exceptional. The album feels in service of each other first and foremost which in turn makes it a labor of love.
