Not For Radio is the solo project of Maria Zardoya, lead singer of the Los Angeles dream-pop band The Marias, who also sang on Bad Bunny's blockbuster 'Un Verano Sin Ti.' The sound here is hazier and more intimate than her main band. Her debut album Melt, out in October 2025, surprised the industry by dropping all ten songs at once with no advance singles. It still landed at No. 13 on the Billboard 200 and hit No. 2 on the Vinyl Albums chart in its first week.
