Mereba‘s sophomore album is a love letter to the individuals and experiences that formed her life. It could take the type of a tune written for her new child or a voice memo that includes sensible knowledge from her father.
On a tune like “Counterfeit,” she nods on the lengthy journey by the music business to get thus far. Mereba’s musical profession has taken her from Greensboro, N.C., studying guitar and enjoying people music, to turning into part of Atlanta’s underground music scene within the 2010s.
Now primarily based in LA, she was mentored by Stevie Marvel, and in 2019, Mereba launched her debut album, The Jungle is the Solely Method Out.
On this session, Mereba joins us to speak about making The Breeze Grew a Hearth, how inspiration has to come back slightly faster whenever you’re a brand new mom, and the time her dad made her join together with her ancestry in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
