In the tapestry of music, Melina Hazewood’s latest creation, “Powerful,” emerges as a vibrant thread woven with the resilience and strength inspired by the women who have left an indelible mark on her journey.

In Melina’s own words, “Powerful” isn’t a song pitting women against men but a harmonious call for equality. It reverberates with a universal message, reminding women of their worth and uniqueness. The song doesn’t overshadow men but encourages them to discover their own inner strength.
The music video, unveiled on March 18th, complements the song’s empowering narrative.

Melina Hazewood, born to a French mother and English father, bridges influences from both cultures, promising a musical journey that transcends borders. Having triumphed at The Golden Voices International Singing Contest in Cannes, winning accolades for Best Singer-Songwriter and Coup de Coeur du Jury, Melina’s trajectory is poised to extend its reach across the UK in the coming year. “Powerful” is not just a song; it’s a lyrical testament to feminine strength, a timeless anthem that invites listeners to revel in the harmonious celebration of equality and capability.
