After over a year in the making, JesseMelancholy traces the arc of love in his upcoming EP Bending Over Backwards, out March 6.
Rising genre-bending artist JesseMelancholy returns with his second EP, Bending Over Backwards, set for release on March 6. Rather than simply assembling a group of songs, he delivers a coming-of-age confession. The project dives headfirst into a dysfunctional yet magnetic relationship, tracing everything from the first spark to the final unraveling.
Over the past year, JesseMelancholy carefully shaped Bending Over Backwards into a fully immersive experience. He blends multi-genre influences with cinematic, film-like production to create a sound that feels vivid and immediate. This EP promises to plays like a late-night drive toward something you already know will not last. Meanwhile, a restless, aching energy pulses through each track—romantic, messy, and unresolved. Instead of hiding the chaos, he leans into it.
Beyond Genre, Powered by Feeling
At just 22, JesseMelancholy continues to redefine what it means to be a genre-fluid artist. He crafts emotionally rich soundscapes and pairs them with experimental production choices that push his music forward. At the same time, he never loses sight of storytelling. Through his lyrics, he confronts mental health struggles, questions of identity, and the complicated nature of human connection. Consequently, every track pulls listeners deeper into his world—one rooted in introspection, sonic risk-taking, and unfiltered honesty.
To mark the EP’s release, JesseMelancholy will take the stage across Australia in Autumn 2026. He joins forces with LonelySpeck for a co-headlining tour that promises to translate the project’s cinematic intensity into a live setting. Onstage, the emotion will feel even more immediate and immersive.
While counting down to March 6, listeners can explore his previous releases and trace the evolution of a young artist who refuses to stand still:
