Far from an introduction, the album marks the arrival of an artist operating with complete creative clarity, bringing together the sounds, collaborators and influences that have defined his journey into one cohesive body of work. \"Alive On Arrival draws inspiration from what feels like my entire life as a producer, a DJ and a music fan, bringing together everything I love about house, hip-hop, UK music, soulful R\u0026amp;B and wider global sounds. The name comes from Wu-Tang Clan's C.R.E.A.M., which felt fitting to where I'm at in my musical journey. It's been 15 years as Melé, but I'm still alive and feel like I've got so much more to give. I've finally arrived at this point with my debut album. The album was made in, and heavily influenced by, London, Miami and Liverpool - three places that are close to my heart. Sonically, it's inspired by some of the best: Jungle, The Neptunes, Gorillaz and Masters At Work.\" - Melé aka Krissy Peers Set for release on 25 September, Alive On Arrival is Melé's most expansive project to date. Across fourteen tracks, he draws together house, hip-hop, soul and R\u0026amp;B into a record that reflects a lifetime spent moving between genres rather than being limited by them. Created between London, Miami and his hometown of Liverpool, the album captures the energy and musical history of three cities that have shaped both his sound and perspective. At the heart of Alive On Arrival is collaboration. Rather than simply assembling a list of featured artists, Melé has curated a cast of voices whose individual perspectives deepen the emotional and cultural narrative of the album. Long-time collaborators sit alongside new creative partnerships, each contributing to a record built on shared musical language and mutual respect. Featured throughout the album are acclaimed lyricists, vocalists and producers including Jords, Wonky Logic, Roland Clark, Lex Amor, RIA, IRAH, Marla Kether, Reek0, K.O.G and Bontan. From the uplifting chemistry of 'So High' with Jords and Wonky Logic, to the soulful introspection of 'Soul Flower (Move Like Me)' featuring Lex Amor, right through to the sultry grooves of 'Get A Little Down' (featuring Reek0 \u0026amp; Marla Kether) each collaboration feels intentional, allowing every artist space to leave their own imprint while serving the wider vision of the record. The result is an album that feels collective without losing it's identity. Melé remains the connective thread throughout, bringing together artists from different scenes, backgrounds and disciplines with a producer's instinct for cohesion and a curator's ear for storytelling. The album title itself reflects this philosophy. Alive On Arrival nods to Wu-Tang Clan's C.R.E.A.M., drawing inspiration from hip-hop's tradition of lived experience, resilience and reinvention. For Melé, this isn't the beginning of a career but the culmination of years spent refining his craft, the sound of an artist arriving entirely on his own terms. While rooted in house music, Alive On Arrival pushes confidently beyond the genre's traditional boundaries and what could be expected of an album on Defected Records, an iconic London label Melé has a rich and storied past with. Hip-hop lyricism, soulful songwriting, global influences and club-focused production sit side by side, reflecting Melé's own varied sound as a producer and selector. In doing so, the album also signals an exciting new chapter for Defected Records. Alive On Arrival expands the label's sonic palette while remaining true to the spirit of house music, presenting a record that feels progressive, emotionally resonant and culturally connected.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrack List:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Disc 1 -\u003cbr\u003eA1 Melé Intro 0:38\u003cbr\u003eA2 Melé, Jords \u0026amp; Wonky Logic So High (Extended Mix) 3:36\u003cbr\u003eA3 Melé \u0026amp; Ria Ay Si (Extended Mix) 4:02\u003cbr\u003eA4 Melé \u0026amp; Marla Kether Brazilika (Extended Mix) 5:30\u003cbr\u003eB1 Melé \u0026amp; Roland Clark Wait a Minute 3:57\u003cbr\u003eB2 Melé \u0026amp; Irah Body Move (Extended Mix) 4:02\u003cbr\u003eB3 Melé \u0026amp; Jords Protect Your Peace Interlude 2:36\u003cbr\u003eB4 Melé Featuring Lex Amor Soul Flower (Move Like Me) 3:47\u003cbr\u003e- Disc 2 -\u003cbr\u003eC1 Melé \u0026amp; Reek0 \u0026amp; Marla Kether Get a Little Down 4:42\u003cbr\u003eC2 Melé Soul Makossa (Extended Mix) 5:15\u003cbr\u003eC3 Melé \u0026amp; Wonky Logic the Light 4:26\u003cbr\u003eD1 Melé This Thing of Ours Interlude 3:02\u003cbr\u003eD2 Melé \u0026amp; Bontan \u0026amp; K.O.G Adesa (Extended Mix) 5:53\u003cbr\u003eD3 Melé Another Tomorrow (Extended Mix) 5:45\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003estreet date 10\/2\/2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45199148810440,"sku":"826194719975","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/1337\/2616\/files\/4535487-3690558.jpg?v=1787589278","url":"https:\/\/1234gorecords.shop\/products\/826194719975","provider":"1-2-3-4 Go!
