LA-based alt-soul artist MERCE has released ‘My Guy’, the first single from her upcoming solo album ALIVE. As a founding member of 90’s R&B/soul group The Jazzyfatnastees, MERCE (given name Mercedes Martinez) has already collaborated with legends such as Stevie Wonder and The Roots. Now forging her own style and voice, MERCE steps out with emotion and self-assurance.
‘My Guy’ sizzles: expect a sultry sounding slow burner, with red-hot harmonies that ebb and flow through the track. Deep, electronic textures weave around MERCE’s beautiful vocals to create something hypnotic.
“My Guy is less about a guy I didn’t align with and more about reassuring myself that there’s no need to cry. Who or what is meant for me will not pass me by. The music is atmospheric and moody with a march-like quality that feels like the path I’m on, the twisting, winding road to my highest good.” – MERCE
