Megapenny Music x Delphine Savatte – “Across the miles”

After putting out a fun, energetic debut earlier this year, Megapenny Music is back with something completely different, and honestly, it works. “Across the miles” doesn’t follow the same Euro-pop vibe of “Grains of Sand”, and that’s exactly the point.

Bringing Delphine Savatte back on vocals was a smart move. She really knows how to deliver emotion without overdoing it. There’s a calm confidence in how she sings this, and it fits the song perfectly, it’s about love and connection that doesn’t fade with distance, and that idea comes through loud and clear. You don’t need to be going through a long-distance relationship to feel this one, it hits anyone who’s ever had to be far from someone they care about.

The way the song holds back is what makes it work, it builds gradually without trying to hit some big dramatic moment. The focus is on the melody, the arrangement, and how those pieces support the feeling of the song. There’s definitely a cinematic edge, but not in a showy way. It’s more like a quiet emotional moment that lands without warning, and when you remember this is only the second release after a decades-long break, that kind of restraint and control is pretty surprising. He clearly has no interest in playing it safe or repeating the past, he’s doing something that feels honest.

If you haven’t already, definitely go back and check out “Grains of Sand” to see how different the two singles are. It’s cool to hear an artist this early in their return already showing this much range. And make sure to follow Megapenny Music on Facebook to keep up with whatever’s coming next. Especially if you’re into music that switches things up and actually has something real to say. Who knows what direction he’ll take next, but it’s definitely worth sticking around to find out.
