Today, artist Mereki released the upbeat pop EP Beach, which includes the new singles "French Kissing" and "Got It All," along with the fresh track "Friend Again" and the contemplative, yet hopeful tune "It Will."
The new sound takes an upbeat turn from her previous EP Lazy Eye. No longer a self-proclaimed 'sad girl in a bad world,' the new chapter has a tone that is rich and lively, serving up the ideal characteristics of modern pop without the typical bag of tricks that we've come to expect.
Mereki is currently supporting Dhani Harrison and Nikolai Fraiture of The Strokes new project, Summer Moon on the West Coast leg of their tour this month. She's featured on Harrison's new album IN///PARALLEL on the tracks "London Water" and "Poseidon." In addition to her solo work, she has lent her voice to such musical acts as Goldroom and HOLYCHILD, among others.
