Melbourne multidimensional artist Merryn Jeann has created a self-growth, alt-pop track powered by wit and whimsy in her latest release, ‘ME B4 U.’
Stacked whispers light-heartedly open ‘ME B4 U’ and set the playful tone that anchors the song through. Dancing, rapidly flitting images, and zoomed-in smiles flash across the screen as Jeann reflects on how a desire for vulnerability and openness has shone a light on her own maturity and evolution. A glowing revelation that places the highest importance on guiding, grounding, and committing to the self before giving your loyalty to others. These spoken word vocals and melodic choruses add an enticing, auditory layering effect while clapping, gleefully groaning guitars, and hints of horn parade behind Jeann and wrap ‘ME B4 U’ into a rapturous track that bops as much as it heals.

I found this song to be a pleasant musical plunge into self-love that hit my playlists as a happy addition just in time for winter. If you need a track to just make you feel good, ‘ME B4 U’ fits the bill. Merryn Jeann’s first full-length album, DOG BEACH, will be released next February via her co-founded record label, Rescue + Return Records.
