Mel & Mus, composed of Melvin Hough and Rivelino Wouter, are a Grammy-nominated, American-Dutch songwriting and production duo best known for writing and producing R&B/Hip-Hop hits "Don't Think They Know", "Barbie Dreams", and "Good Good".[1]
In 2010, their song "Hit It Like This" received special recognition from music magazine Rap-Up as a "must-hear song" on Jamie Foxx album Best Night of My Life, for its "club-primed" sound.[2] Rihanna and Nicki Minaj collaboration "Raining Men" from blockbuster 2010 album Loud became their breakthrough, charting on various component charts in both the United States and United Kingdom. The duo next contributed 2 songs to Chris Brown album "X": "Songs On a 12 Play", and "Don't Think They Know" in 2013, which posthumously paired noted R&B artist Aaliyah with Brown.[3]
In 2023, the duo reached #1 on US Urban Radio with "Good Good", the lead single from Usher's ninth studio album Coming Home.[4][5] The single became Usher's first top 40 Billboard Hot 100 hit since 2016, and would later remain atop the Billboard Adult R&B Airplay charts for five weeks.[6] The song was included on the Vibe 20 Best R&B Songs of 2023 list, lauded for its "sexy, empathetic, and smooth southern bounce [coupled] with modern trap-tinged R&B."[7]
