Press Play on Melanie Cowmeadow’s “Snakes & Ladders”

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.

Melanie Cowmeadow Releases Heartfelt New Single, “Dear Dad”

After losing a loved one, most of us would do almost anything for one last conversation. Melanie Cowmeadow used that desire as the inspiration of her latest single “Dear Dad.” Melanie penned this tender ballad two years ago after the unexpected death of her father.

Hailing from Tarntanya/Adelaide, Melanie has explored everything from alt-rock to music theatre. However, her voice and ability to paint vivid stories with her lyrics really suit this acoustic, singer-songwriter vibe. Hopefully this is just the start of many exciting releases from Melanie in the coming year.
