Savannah Gates, left, and Melissa Collins hope their music heals listeners Local lesbian duo MCSVG brings distinct feels to its music RICH LOPEZ | Staff writerrich@dallasvoice.com This week marks the release of the new single “Let It Burn” from MCSVG, and the single has had quite a build-up.
Melissa Collins (The MC in the name) and Savannah Gates (the SVG side) have dropped music before, but this new single feels like a significant moment for the Fort Worth-based duo, who are partners in life as well as in music.
It highlights their approach to music as complex and thoughtful while also speaking to both queer audiences and real-life experiences.
Initially, the two were planning to release MCSVG’s debut EP this month. “Then life happened, so we closed that gap to move on,” Gates said.
