Acclaimed Chilean Artist Yael Meyer to Release New Music

Chilean singer-songwriter Yael Meyer, who has received a flood of international acclaim with her infused mixture of electronica, pop and folk, announced that she will release new music this year. Meyer will also be playing SXSW as well as dates in select markets throughout the United States this year (details TBA).

Meyer released Warrior Heart in 2014 under her own label KLI Records and received rave reviews from all over the globe including grabbing the attention of NPR's Felix Contreras (co-host of Alt.Latino) and Jasmine Garsd as one of their "musical treasures we uncovered." The Wall Street Journal premiered the video for the title track "Warrior Heart" in which they said the singer "Pairs Strength, Vulnerability" - Watch it HERE. Entertainment Weekly premiered the song "Human Divine" calling it, "...bouncy, ebullient electropop that should appeal to the considerable number of people who are still waiting for Grimes to write another 'Oblivion.'" - Listen HERE. The haunting song "The Hunt," with its video shot in the beautiful Andes - watch it HERE, premiered on The CW show Reign.

Internationally, Rolling Stone Argentina named her "one of the 5 female Chilean musicians to know" and was named one of the 100 most influential young leaders of her native, Chile by El Mercurio, the most respected daily newspaper in the country. In a joint venture between her KLI Records and Warner Music Korea, Meyer broke into the Korean market with her singles "All Around Me" and "Tiny Nose" which peaked at #2 and #3 respectively in the pop digital sales ranking. The same year Yael penned the song "When You Hold Me Tight" for the second season of the Korean drama Healer. The song appears as the title theme for the main character in the series.

Meyer's new music should arrive later this year. She will be co-producing this new album with producer Bill Lefler (Dashboard Confessional, Ingrid Michaelson), who she worked with on Warrior Heart, as well as other producers. She's written and recorded songs in Los Angeles, Santiago, and Sydney. Meyer says, "This album is much more raw, much more guitar heavy, with bigger distortions and disruptive sounds, while still maintaining the quality that I have always wanted to generate with music which is to take people through different emotions and hopefully inspire some interesting visuals in their minds."

A graduate of Berklee College of Music in Boston, Meyer has performed on stages and festivals around the world including C/O POP Cologne (Germany), Lollapalooza (Chile), Gustock (Chile), Pulsar (Chile), Sziget (Hungary), AM-PM "AMérica Por su Música" (Cuba), BAFIM (Argentina) and many more and lead extensive solo tours through the United States. Her music has been heard around the globe having appeared on films and ads for brands such a Blackberry and Ralph Lauren, TV series such as "Reign," "Parenthood," "Private Practice," "Drop Dead Diva," etc. and several MTV shows.
