Mélanie Pain is a French indie pop singer-songwriter whose music seamlessly blends elements of pop, folk, and new wave influences, marked by her soft, sultry voice and introspective lyrics. She first gained prominence as one of the lead singers of Nouvelle Vague, a French band known for their bossa nova-infused covers of new wave and punk classics, where her dreamy vocals brought a fresh dimension to widely recognized songs.

Embarking on a solo career, Pain has demonstrated a knack for crafting atmospheric tunes that are both catchy and emotionally resonant. Her work, such as the reflective "Bye Bye Manchester" and the intimate "7 ou 8 fois," showcases her ability to weave personal storytelling with melodic pop sensibilities. With a growing discography that includes songs like "My Name" and "Parachute," Mélanie Pain has solidified her position in the French pop landscape as an artist with a distinctive voice and a penchant for evocative songwriting.
