Mereki Gives US “Twin Flame”

Mereki Gives US “Twin Flame”


Sentimentally arriving the same week as Valentine’s Day, Australian/English savant of purposeful pop, Mereki today releases her new single “Twin Flame.” After opening with swelling and all-consuming chamber pop vocals, the song then dissolves into a more playful, upbeat adventure. Surrounding the listener with electronic experimentation and cascading vocals, the new track is the embodiment of the woozy dream-state of being in love.

Diving into the meaning of the single, Mereki said, “’Twin Flame’ is about meeting someone for the first time and knowing immediately that you’ve met before, maybe a million times. And that this being has played every meaningful role in your life and that no matter how many challenges you might face together or what role they might play this lifetime, you’ve found each other again and you are together forever.”

Last year saw the release of Mereki’s first single of her new era, “Presence.” While in a writing room above the studio where Dhani Harrison and Graham Coxon of Blur were recording, Mereki was inspired by the guitars reverberating through the walls and began singing a melody that became the first verse. After sharing her melody with Harrison, the two were motivated to work together to complete Mereki’s composition. The release was met with praise from the likes of Notion, Beats Per Minute and Mundane Mag, as well as editorial support from Spotify’s infamous Lorem playlist, the artist’s return was her strongest streaming to date.

At the end of 2022, Mereki and her Be Kind charity partnered with the Happy Baby Community for a Presents for Presence holiday fundraiser. The campaign helped raise money, awareness, and much needed supplies for asylum-seeking new mothers and their babies. Happy Baby Community provides a holistic approach to healing which includes long term support for both mothers and children.
