Melissa Mandy and Noah-Benedikt bring pop and rock influences together on their new album, following more than one million streams and millions of views.
MAGDEBURG, SAXONY-ANHALT, GERMANY, August 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Slovak multi-instrumentalist, singer and performer Melissa Mandy and German producer, musician and songwriter Noah-Benedikt, performing together as 2GETHER, have released their self-titled album 2GETHER, marking the culmination of two years of cross-border musical collaboration.
Released on August 7, 2026, the album arrives as CD and Vinyl alongside the official music video for its title track, “2GETHER.”
The album brings together previous collaborative singles including “Wonderland Sight,” “Hola Guapa” and “New Generation” with four brand-new songs (Danger Is You, 2GETHER, Fly and Afterlife), creating a deliberately diverse record that moves between emotional ballads, modern pop, heavy rock and Latin influences. The opening track and lead single, “2GETHER,” captures the central idea behind the project: two artists with different backgrounds and musical strengths creating one shared musical identity through songwriting, harmonies, live instrumentation and production.
At 15, Melissa Mandy has already developed a wide-ranging career as a multi-instrumentalist, singer, actor and dubbing actor. The Slovak artist has performed with artists including Leon Hendrix, appeared at major festivals in Slovakia and the Czech Republic and performed in musicals in Bratislava. Her versatility is central to the 2GETHER sound, particularly in the duo’s vocal harmonies, duets and live performances.
Noah-Benedikt, 21, is a German producer, musician, songwriter and live performer with an extensive performing career. He has produced three previous solo albums and released more than 60 original songs. His production work for 2GETHER takes place at NB Studio in Germany, while much of the duo’s songwriting takes place in Slovakia, making the project a genuinely German-Slovak independent collaboration.
The partnership has already built significant momentum. 2GETHER have surpassed one million streams across their work and accumulated millions of views across social-media platforms. Their previous singles have also reached international independent-music audiences, with both “Wonderland Sight” and “Hola Guapa” reaching No. 1 on aBreak58. The new album brings those earlier successes together with four new tracks, turning two years of collaboration into one complete musical statement.
A defining feature of 2GETHER is its independence. Melissa Mandy and Noah-Benedikt produce their music themselves, maintaining direct creative control over the project from songwriting through production. The album also features experienced professional musicians, including star guitarist Sandro Giampietro on “Hola Guapa”, known for his work with Helge Schneider, Kieran Hilbert on “Wonderland Sight”, who has performed with Udo Lindenberg, and French guitarist Manou Rau on “Shadows” and “It Ain’t Real.”
The duo’s story is increasingly moving from the studio to major live stages. Their performances include Slovakia’s premier country festival, Country Lodenica, alongside major national and international acts, Nashville Night in Germany alongside other U.S. acts and numerous other festivals and events. On August 28, 2026, 2GETHER by Melissa Mandy and Noah-Benedikt will perform on Domplatz in Magdeburg as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of Frauenselbsthilfe Krebs (FSH). The event also features Patricia Kelly, with whom Melissa Mandy and Noah-Benedikt will perform a song together alongside their own set.
On September 5, 2026, 2GETHER will appear at the MDR Harz Open Air in Wernigerode, sharing the festival lineup with The BossHoss and Marquess. Their performance comes ahead of The BossHoss, one of Germany’s best-known country-rock acts, placing the young German-Slovak duo on a major open-air festival stage.
With 2GETHER, Melissa Mandy and Noah-Benedikt have created an album that refuses to be confined to one genre or one country. Its changing sounds reflect the journey of two independent artists who have spent the past two years discovering what they can create together. The result is a record built around positive energy, good vibes, harmonies and the desire to take listeners along on their journey.
The name says it all: 2GETHER is not simply the name of a duo. It is the idea behind the music — two artists, two countries, multiple genres and one shared musical journey.
The growing project and album is supported by partners and sponsors including Maritim Hotel Magdeburg, Schubert Motors, Bettenhaus Schmitt Berlin, Qilin Magdeburg and GirlsGotGroove (@girlsgotgroove), alongside private sponsors such as Andrea Hintersass and Torsten Hintersass.
2GETHER is available now on LP, CD and digital download, with the official “2GETHER” music video also available online.
