Our #WCW today is the incredibly talented Melyssa ZW, a singer, songwriter, dancer, and performer from Harare, Zimbabwe. Born Melyssa Siduduzile Dlodlo, this young artist has been making waves in the music industry with her unique sound and captivating stage presence.

With a passion for music that began at a young age, Melyssa has persevered through challenges and setbacks to share her gift with the world. Her collaborations with notable artists, such as Delroy Shewe on her song “Ndichadiwa!”, have showcased her talent and dedication to her craft.

Melyssa ZW’s music is a testament to her resilience and creativity, blending genres in a unique and captivating way. Her latest single, “Think About Me”, is a raw and emotional track that tackles the complexities of a toxic relationship. The song’s message is simple and powerful: if he can’t do better, she doesn’t want him around.

In “Think About Me”, Melyssa’s narrative is clear: a woman speaking her truth, confronting her boyfriend’s dismissive behavior, and drawing the line. She captures the heartbreak with delicate but impactful lyrics, particularly when she sings about the frustration of unanswered calls and silent phones, contrasted with the boyfriend’s attentiveness to someone else.

The song’s chorus borrows inspiration from Ngoni Kambarami and Tally Bee’s “Zvaunondiita So”, reworking it into a modern-day anthem for self-respect and leaving toxicity behind. Melyssa shines vocally, delivering an emotive and smooth performance with just the right amount of bite to give the track its edge.

We can’t wait to see what the future holds for this talented artist! Join us in celebrating Melyssa ZW, our #WCW, and let’s show her some love and support! Listen to her music, follow her journey, and let’s help her shine!
