December 4, 2024

Mel 4Ever is a Los Angeles-based pop artist, dubbed the “Popstar Of The Moment” by Interview Magazine. Since her 2021 debut, she’s opened for fellow electronic-pop icons like Alice Longyu Gao and Ayesha Erotica, collaborated with Heidi Montag (which is, in Mel’s own words, “probably the nastiest song you’ll hear in your lifetime”), and performed at Outside Lands where she introduced herself as Chappell Roan. Aside from her sick discography that ranges from a Nine Inch Nails cover to her newest single I Can’t Quit (check it out here), she’s also all too clever and hilarious– which reflects in the recs she’s got below. Lucky for us, Mel 4Ever’s here to tell us what she’s been into.

If you have Food Stamps, go to Erewhon (😬)
Okay so this is prob what NOT to do, but whenever I’m depressed or have any inconvenience whatsoever, I go to Erewhon in LA obv and get the Tumeric Crush smoothie. Something about it is so… delishie. It’s rather tart so prepare for that. But it’s mother, and helps with tummy probs and Erewhon takes EBT. It’s humiliating and the people that work there (get it) but also are like… girl what are you doing. You literally have to announce that you're using EBT or the transaction wont go thru. If you use EBT Trader Joes is true Supreme Mother for groceries tho.

Blast Heels by Mel 4Ever in a car
This song is a psychotic but philosophical take on lifestyle. Being “Heels” is more than wearing heels. It’s an attitude one must embody. Gender aside, anyone can be Heels. Walking into a room shrouded in serenity and mayhem. Bitchy and kind. Cunty but sweet. Gorgeous but hideous. I recommend blasting it on the way to a function you only wanna be at 30%.

Steal the pens from the Edition on Sunset
I’ve been writing my new songs with a stolen pen from the Edition on Sunset. The weight of it, all black, metal, something about it makes me feel so bitchlicious. I went in for an interview 3 times and they never hired me to be a human statue (host) so as revenge I got a guy to take me to lunch on the rooftop and stole this pen. I recommend.

Using these 3 words Crunt, Becca, and Eenkgow
Crunt: If something is crunt or crunted, its cunt but it’s also runted. Like weird, deformed, and gorgeous. Ex: my new bangs are so crunted; the main character from Chimp Crazy is crunted Becca: If someone is a Becca, they are your bestie, but also the most annoying person in the world. They are insufferable yet you can’t quit them. Ex: Kaylor from Love Island is so becca, she’s becca down.  if someone is being especially naughty, you can call them Rebecca. If they’re being super fun, you can call them Becks.  Eenkgow: This is how I (a transwoman) says “thank you”. If you say it soft and fast enough, it passes as a cis-woman saying “thank you” in a flirty way. If youre being clocked on the reg, try this out for size.

Transitioning
If you’re miserable and feel like you may be trans, you are trans. Start slow if you’d like, but try playing around with presentation, no matter what gender, serve it fiercely. If you’re in a safe enough environment, let them have it. Serve it ancient city style on the JMZ.

Stop drinking
Yall need to stop drinking lmao its soooooooo nasty. Like are you okay? You donnnnt need vodka 4 times a week. Learn to be cute sober. It’s more powerful. That being said, I’m an alcoholic and drank excessively for 13 years so ://// I get it. But once you harness your sober powers you can do anything.
