MEG initially teased this chapter last year with the release of three singles, eluding as to what’s to come during this album cycle. ‘Sophia <144> (Ft. Nicole Perretti)‘ was a song about unification, ‘CHILDREN OF LIGHT II’ was a song about facing our fears to become who we are, and ‘HTIS (Hiding That I’m Sexual) (Ft. Luna Shadows and Carmen Vandenberg)‘ (member of Grammy—Nominated rock band Bones UK), focused on becoming acquainted with the insecurities and imperfections of the self. All singles tie into the overarching album theme of the “liberation of the self by bringing light to the shadows,” according to MEG herself. All singles eclipsed over 2M+ Spotify streams and 1.5M+ views on YouTube.
ABOUT MEG MYERS:
At the age of 19, MEG MYERS moved to Los Angeles to record her debut album Sorry released via Atlantic Records. That album spawned top 15 and top 20 alternative radio hits, ‘Desire’ and ‘Sorry,’ respectively. MYERS‘ striking and visceral music videos skyrocketed to upwards of 9 million YouTube views, and her Spotify plays rank in the tens of millions. She’s graced the pages of every major publication from Rolling Stone to Cosmopolitan and has brought her hypnotizing performances to the late-night stages of Conan, Carson Daly, and Jimmy Kimmel. In addition to major tours with the Pixies, Alt-J, My Chemical Romance, and Royal Blood, she has performed at notable festivals like Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Governors Ball.
MYERS‘ follow-ups, Thank U 4 Taking Me To 2 The Disco and I’d Like 2 Go Home Now, released via Sumerian Records in 2020, which included the acclaimed singles ‘Any Way You Wanna Love,’ ‘i hope you cry (with morgxn),’ and ‘The Underground,’ which were met with praise. These were the first releases since the blockbuster success of her chart-topping cover of Kate Bush’s 1985 classic, ‘Running Up That Hill‘ in March 2019. Originally performed during an NPR Tiny Desk Concert, ‘Running Up That Hill’ made history by ascending to #1 on Billboard’s “Alternative Songs” airplay chart 42 weeks after its official release. The cover also reached #1 on Billboard’s “Rock Airplay” chart in its 29th week. |
