With a wink and a whisper, Melody Federer teams up with electro-alt powerhouse Big Data on the delightfully self-aware new single Happy?. Set to bright piano lines and buoyant synths, the track is equal parts serotonin and side-eye, a shimmering pop meditation on fleeting joy, existential confusion, and the quiet buzz of anxiety that follows close behind. Federer’s whimsical yet vulnerable delivery wraps around the question like a riddle, echoing the complex, chaotic beauty of feeling almost okay in a world that rarely makes sense. Melody shared:
I remember feeling so depressed one day. Then I saw this pink tree… and just remembered we’re floating around on a giant rock in space.
The track is a testament to Melody’s lyrical insight and Big Data’s sleek, layered production, merging alt-pop quirk with emotional resonance. It captures a universally relatable moment: when you laugh, then pause, wondering if you're actually… happy. No stranger to bending genres, Federer’s career has taken her from Paris Fashion Week to SiriusXM airplay, collaborating with names like P!nk, Kelly Rowland, and the late Burt Bacharach, all while crafting her own path through indie, jazz, R&B, and folk.
