ZASKA set to release danceable soul-pop banger ‘No Right Time’ featuring Melina Malone on October 18th

October 14, 2024

No Right Time (feat. Melina Malone), the latest single from ZASKA is out on October 18 and is the first from the upcoming studio album, Nectar.

The track is a danceable soul-pop banger punctuated by Melina Malone’s layered vocals and inspired by the throwback style of Silk Sonic, with Motown strings, Curtis Mayfield horns in the chorus, and a strutting guitar line reminiscent of Nile Rodgers.

Max Zaska, guitarist, songwriter, producer, and bandleader of ZASKA is known for his many collaborations with Irish vocalists, including Hozier. This is Zaska’s third collaboration with Melina Malone, following 2022’s Just For One Day and the recent live track, Ever Cross Your Mind released last April.

The pair co-wrote No Right Time during a residency at the Centre Culturel Irlandais in Paris in 2022 and it’s has been a crowd favouite since the pair started performing it live. The track playfully encourages you to take a chance on romance, that there’s no right time to risk your heart when love calls.

“I was delighted to write this song with Melina in Paris during my residency at the CCI and it has grown and developed into one of my favourite in the set. It’s so much fun to play live and Melina’s vocals are incredible,” explained Zaska.

Melina Malone released her debut album, Aphrodite, in October 2023, followed by a showcase at Ireland Music Week and Irish festival appearaces.

No Right Time is out on all digital streaming platforms on October 18. ZASKA’s Feel Good Show is at The Grand Social on 25 October.

Other upcoming ZASKA shows:
24 October – The Hootenanny Brixton, supporting shiv
27 October – The Pav, Cork – Free In as part of Cork Jazz
