Rising singer/songwriter Adam Melchor's new song "I'm Ready" is premiering now via Consequence, who says, "The dreamy indie-folk tune doubles down on Melchor's knack for warm harmonies and frames him as wholeheartedly in love."

Of the track, Melchor furthers, "'I'm Ready' is a song about being unafraid of vulnerability and in a moment, letting someone know that you have all the love in the world for them for the first time like jumping into the ocean and swimming as far as you can go without looking back. Once you do look back, you'll see the place you came from and realize how beautiful it's been all along and that the view from this side of your heart is better than you could even imagine."

"I'm Ready" is the latest song to be revealed ahead of Melchor's debut album, Here Goes Nothing, set for release on October 21 via Warner Records. Co-produced by Melchor and Henry Kwapis (Benny Blanco, Dijon), the album features additional work from Charlie Puth, Lennon Stella, Emily Warren and Andrew Sarlo. Here Goes Nothing also features further contributions from the Robin Pecknold (Fleet Foxes) on the track "Let Me Know When."

The album's lead single "Turnham Green" has already been the subject of early praise; V Magazine calls it "a classic pop-folk song, with soft melodies and ethereal acoustic guitar riffs. The melancholy song highlights the beauty that can come from pain, as Melchor hears somebody's reasoning for hurting him," while Ones To Watch adds, "'Turnham Green' is a sobering moment of empathy." Cool Hunting furthers, "['Turnham Green' is] another dreamy alt-folk single from LA-based singer-songwriter... [The song] sets exquisite vocals on gently enveloping instrumentals."

In support of the new album, Melchor will embark on an extensive run of North American tour dates in early 2023. The tour kicks off in late January and includes performances at New York's Brooklyn Steel, Los Angeles' Fonda Theater, Nashville's Brooklyn Bowl, Chicago's Thalia Hall, Austin's Scoot Inn, Denver's Gothic Theatre and more. Full tour routing can be found below.

Melchor moved to Los Angeles in 2018 where he had sessions with everyone from Charlie Puth to The Chainsmokers, which subsequently led to tour dates alongside Mt. Joy, Dodie, Ashe, over 50 million streams to date and received critical praise. In 2020, Melchor launched Melchor's Lullaby Hotline, where he sent out 40 original songs to over 10,000 fans. In conjunction, Melchor released a mixtape featuring his favorite tracks entitled Melchor Lullaby Hotline, Vol. 1, marking his first release on Warner Records.

Earlier this year, Melchor performed with Post Malone on "Saturday Night Live" where he sang backing vocals and recently completed a 30-date headlining tour across the country. Melchor's songwriting accolades include co-writes on Ashe's "Taylor," The Chainsmokers' "In Too Deep," Alexander 23's "Loving You Gets Hard" and Allison Ponthier's "Faking My Own Death." He has also collaborated with Briston Maroney, Lennon Stella, ELIO, Madeline The Person and more.
