Since he moved to L.A. from his native New Jersey in 2018, singer-songwriter Adam Melchor has made his way into a lot of the right songwriting circles, cementing his place as a deft puller of heartstrings with his 2020 EP, “Summer Camp.”

“Last Time” is the first single off his forthcoming “Melchor Lullaby Hotline, Vol. 1,” a project that grew out of his actual “hotline,” started last February, in which he asked fans to text or email him to hear a new song and ended up sending 44 songs to a contact list of almost 10,000.

As for the new single, he says: “I wrote ‘Last Time’ in late February of 2020, before the pandemic hit. I started the Lullaby Hotline that same week and always had this song in mind to put on the project. The song is about leaving someone at an airport and the feeling of watching them walk away from you. In that moment, I ask myself ‘Is this the last time I’ll see this person?’ I remember thinking while writing this, ‘Will there ever be shows again?’ Hopefully someday soon, we’ll be able to laugh at how much we cried this year and be around the people and communities we love that bring us light.”
