ANAHEIM HILLS, Calif. — Today, Influence Music artist and creative director Melody Noel drops her second single, “So Good,” and the pre-save link for her debut Christian EP, “Back to Praise,” out May 2. Click HERE to listen, HERE to pre-save the EP and HERE to watch the lyric video.
Written as part of her personal diary, “So Good” proclaims God’s “simply breathtaking” ability to provide us peace when we open our hearts to Him. With its catchy melody and uplifting lyrics, this song is perfect for starting the day off right.
“I wrote ‘So Good’ to be a breath of fresh air for whoever listens and to help them meditate on ‘that which is praiseworthy,’” Melody explained. “It’s so easy for our minds to focus on what’s going wrong in the world or in our lives. So, my goal with ‘So Good’ was to help listeners ‘refocus.’”
After years of writing for secular pop artists such as Jennifer Lopez, Melody felt a pull to dedicate her craft to Christian music. This divine calling led Melody to co-found Influence Music in 2017, where she was instrumental in creating the worship collective’s iTunes no. 1 and Billboard no. 2 album, “Touching Heaven” (2018).
To date, Melody’s music has amassed over 228 million streams across digital platforms. Guided by the timeless creed “Soli Deo gloria” — “Glory to God alone” — Melody continues to write songs that inspire faith and encourage worship.
Listen to “So Good” now and stay tuned for more information on “Back to Praise.”
ABOUT MELODY NOEL
For Melody Noel, music is a life force. Born into a family of mariachis spanning across seven generations — with the earliest musician dating back to the 1700s — Melody forged her own path as the first to create music outside the Mexican folk genre.
Melody began her journey in pop music as a member of teen girl group Runway MMC. This experience opened her eyes to the American music scene, working with the likes of Grammy nominated Alex Cantrall (“Leave (Get Out)” by JoJo) and Brandon Howard (“I Ain’t Gotta Tell You” by Ne-Yo) for Runway MMC’s debut EP “Forever Yours” (2008).
Melody pursued higher education at NYU’s Clive Davis School of Recorded Music, graduating in 2014. Her class project, an EP titled “The Living Room Sessions,” sparked the interest of music publisher Imagem Music; they signed her soon after in 2012.
She continued her path as a songsmith in Los Angeles, toplining for songs such as “I Don’t Wanna Love You” (Casablanca Records/UMG) by Prince Fox, “In My Head (feat. Georgia Ku)” (Mad Decent) by Party Favor, and “Paper Roses” (Spinnin’ Records) by Kura.
In 2016, she co-wrote the single “Love Make the World Go Round” recorded by Jennifer Lopez and Lin Manuel Miranda. Released exclusively on iTunes, all proceeds were donated to those affected by the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, FL. The song peaked at no. 72 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and no. 9 on the Digital Songs chart.
After feeling the pull to write songs for something bigger than herself, Melody pivoted to the Christian music genre, establishing Influence Music in 2017. In 2018, Melody led the worship collective in creating iTunes no. 1 and Billboard no. 2 album “Touching Heaven.” Melody’s single “Mistakes” made it on Billboard’s Christian Airplay chart for 20 weeks. She continues writing and performing songs that are utilized by churches globally.
To date, Melody’s music has been streamed 228 million times across DSPs. Whether writing songs for pop icons, film and television or for local congregants, the banner Melody carries over it all is "Soli Deo gloria,” meaning “Glory to God alone.”
