After a watershed year in 2024 with SABOTAGE, multi award-winning and 2025 Taite Prize finalist & AMA Album of the Year finalist Mel Parsons is keeping her foot to the floor with new single 'Brick by Brick', bringing a taste of things to come with her upbeat, introspective new work. Following ‘Post High Slide’ in March, Parsons will celebrate the new singles with a run of shows through Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia in June 2025.
