(July 24, 2026) When it comes to musical legends of the past half century, they don’t get much bigger than Melba Moore. The Tony Award winner, three-time SoulTracks Readers’ Choice Award recipient, and four-time Grammy nominee has successfully recorded and performed for three generations of fans, and she shows no signs of slowing down now.
Her new single, “Love Wins Every Time,” is and a testimony of the power of love, laid out over an adult soul groove. Produced and written by Rahni Song and Chloe Barjona-Dunbar, “Love Wins” is the kind of sophisticated soul midtempo that has been the Melba Moore sweet spot for years.
Melba says about the song, “Music has always been my vessel for healing. Right now, the world needs a reminder that no matter the struggles we face individually or collectively, love remains our ultimate victory. This song is my heart poured out for everyone who needs a little light right now.”
Pour her heart out she does, and, as usual, she hits the right tone on this uplifting number. Check out “Love Wins Every Time” below, and welcome the great Melba Moore back to SoulTracks.
