Melany Thompson – All For You (2022)

Music is something that many of us do not realise is an intrinsic part of our lives as we connect with it at different moments. This is something that Melany Thompson understands and brings to her stunning single ‘All For You’. Through the track, she blends piano-driven tones with the beautiful string arrangement provided by Yuma Sung.

Together, they create an expressive sound that is authentic, honest and moving, while touching on the threads of meaning that music leaves in our lives. Uplifting and emotional, the single takes everything we have come to expect from Thompson and turns it up to eleven. A talented pianist and composer, Thompson has spent years developing her emotive musical style that brings a sense of peace and encouragement to anyone who listens.



The touching and beautiful tones of the piano opens ‘All For You’ with a tender touch. It is a gorgeous piano line that fills you with a sense of peace and serenity like watching a babbling brook flow past you. The gentle flows of the melody are taken to a new level as the strings enter. The combined softness of the strings and piano is stunning and will have you relaxing back into the sound. There is a slight cinematic touch to the music as it flows out into the rolling meadows and hills of the melody. Through all of this, there is an emotional thread that tethers itself to your chest and allows the bright energy of the music to flow into you.

The delicate dance of the strings and piano is moving as it expresses a sense of upliftment that you can’t deny. A completely instrumental track, it has you sinking into the soft palette of sound and colours, from start to finish. The overall relaxation of the music sinks into your limbs and you will be shocked when the track comes to an end. The tender tones of the music will make you want to listen to the song again and again. There is a sophisticated feeling to the music as it brings beauty, happiness and shimmering tenderness to your senses. While there is a relaxing vibe to the music, there is also this feeling that you can interpret the movement of the music in any way you want. This touches on the beauty of music itself and the way that we are able to connect with it on an emotional level.

Melany Thompson with Yuma Sung bring a stunningly beautiful instrumental flow to our ears in the calming, relaxing and gorgeous ‘All For You’. The piano and strings come together beautifully to fill you with the tender light of the music. The softness of the instruments is enhanced by the sophistication of the composition and arrangement.
