Meg Myers, Meg Myers - Thank U 4 Taking Me To 2 The Disco (EP) and I’d Like 2 Go Home Now (EP), music, Musica

We were shaken, shook, and stirred back in September when Meg Myers threw down an alt-pop gauntlet with fiery single “Any Way You Wanna Love,” which built on the vibe of singer-songwriter’s breakout cover of Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill” by applying her own style and storytelling know-how. The lush track was the first taste of a pair of companion EPs via Sumerian Records. Now the main dish has been served this past Friday (November 13) with the simultaneous release of Thank U 4 Taking Me To 2 The Disco and I’d Like 2 Go Home Now.

The collection of 10 tracks, broken up five-aside on each EP, makes for an interesting and unique way to deliver an overarching theme in an era of supershort attention spans and single-driven streaming. But like any two opposite halves, each are connected and reflected through Myers’ singular vision.

“I’ve been going back and forth for a while now on whether or not I should release these two bodies of work,” says Myers. “There is a lot of pain and suffering in these songs, but also a lot of hope and healing, as I feel the majority of my music has always encompassed. If I was releasing a book, I would publish the entire book from beginning to end, otherwise how would the reader truly be able to appreciate and receive the wisdom in the magic that begins to unfold in Chapter 11 unless they have first digested the depth of the heartache that was experienced prior. Well, that is how I am viewing these EPs. As an important part of my beautiful crazy healing human experience journey that led me to my spiritual awakening…”

It’s no coincidence that Roxane Bruneau’s second album is called Acrophobia , a term that refers to the fear of heights. For three years, the singer-songwriter has experienced a dizzying rise. Here she is back with a new collection of songs that look like a diary, signed by a fulfilled artist, but who has not yet cured her anxiety.

When she launched her first record, Dysphorie , in 2017, Roxane Bruneau still held a “normal” job, but was already counting on a certain notoriety online, she who came to music through humor and social networks. Radio and popular success was instantaneous for the rookie singer. At the time of revealing Acrophobia , her daily life has completely changed.

“I don’t have the same life at all,” she confirms. Mentally, physically, monetarily… I often say it’s like I’ve been allowed to live two lives in one. I say monetarily, but that’s really not the most important. I am so much better in my head since I started doing this job. It’s like I’m on my ‘x’. ”

Roxane Bruneau says she has let go of her “impostor syndrome”. But the inevitable “pressure of the second album”, she nevertheless felt it all the more so as her first effort caused a stir.

Sacred song of the year in 2019 at the ADISQ gala, the locomotive Des p’tits bouts de toi has been viewed more than eight million times on YouTube, in addition to accumulating nearly 2.8 million listenings on Spotify. In short, the singer knows that the continuation is awaited by her “coco”, affectionate nickname that she gives to her audience.

“That’s why the album is called Acrophobia ,” she says. It is really the fear of falling into the void. The success of the first album, I did not expect it at all. It went up quickly and very high. There, I’m afraid to come down so quickly. When people ask me what they can wish for, it is to endure. I really want to do this job all my life. ” (S)

Gracey, Gracey - The Art Of Closure (EP), music, Musica

GRACEY – the unstoppable new voice in UK pop – releases her brand new mini-album ‘The Art Of Closure’ into the world. The mini-album comes with brand new single ‘99%’ which is also out today on Polydor. 2020 has seen GRACEY confidently emerge as one of the most talked about and successful new British artists. Not only has she released a string of brilliantly relatable and catchy-as-hell pop gems (including most recent single ‘Like That’ which currently sits comfortably on the Radio 1 playlist) but the 22-year-old Brighton born star has become a household name by scoring her first ever Top 10 single in the UK charts and on TikTok, where her single ‘Alone In My Room (Gone)’ became a certified lockdown anthem. As a result.

GRACEY’s new mini-album ‘The Art Of Closure’ is the sound of this fiercely talented new popstar firmly in control of her ascent, celebrating everything she has achieved so far and looking forward to her brilliantly beckoning future. Between its astounding 6 tracks lies a story of vulnerability at its most powerful as GRACEY sits inquisitively and assuredly in her own relatable feelings and explores how you can protect yourself – from yourself, your heart, social media and life spent increasingly in the spotlight. Simultaneously, the outrageously good ‘99%’ steps up as GRACEY’s new single.

Lying at the very core of ‘The Art Of Closure’, 99% is GRACEY’s biggest and most assertive release yet, finding the 22-year-old singer and songwriter in full control of new-relationship proceedings, armed with a pop top-line that, just liked herself, is destined for inevitable greatness. On writingg ‘The Art Of Closure’ GRACEY says – “I’m so excited for my mini album to be out in the world! Throughout the process of writing these songs I found I started to understand myself better, not only as an artist, but as a person.

The lyrics are honest and upfront (a lot of them formed from shower thoughts of things I wish I had said) and I’d like to think there’s power in their truthfulness. ‘The Art of Closure’ is my journey towards ending toxic habits and gaining closure from past behaviours and relationships. ‘99%’ is extra special as it was actually one of the first song’s I wrote for myself. I instantly knew it had to stay with me and it’s acted as a pillar to build my sound around ever since. It marks the end of one chapter and a little nod to the next! I hope you enjoy.”
