Mereba has announced her first album since 2019. The artist will share The Breeze Grew a Fire on February 14 via Secretly Canadian.
The 13-track The Breeze Grew a Fire follows Mereba's 2019 full-length debut The Jungle Is the Only Way Out, which arrived via Interscope. The new LP is her first release since 2021 EP Azeb.
Mereba shared of The Breeze Grew a Fire, "For this [album], it went back to me being on my own for the creation of a lot of the songs, and it was really important for me at this time of life because I was a little disconnected from the world, and from who I was. So I was trying to find my way back to myself first. What do I like? What do I want to hear? What do I want to say to people now?"
Opener "Counterfeit" arrives alongside the album announcement, and you can hear its featherlight groove alongside a music video below. Directed by Courtney Sophia Yates, the clip sees Mereba tailed through the neighbourhood by a doppelgänger while out for a walk.
Earlier this year, Mereba appeared on an EP from Baby Rose and BADBADNOTGOOD.
