Welcome to Buzz, MERESHA! We loved "BETTER", we wanted to ask! What was the inspiration behind this release?
"BETTER" was inspired by the end of a relationship. It was time for something better. More generally, we all face situations that we want to move on from and get to a better place.
What is your favorite part of the creative process for making music, and what was your favorite part of seeing your vision for the music video come to life?
I love all parts of the creative process, from the first ideas to full songwriting, working in the studio, figuring out the cover art, etc. For the "BETTER" video, I worked for the fourth time with David Rousseau, one of the best-known music video directors (Pitbull, Shakira, etc.) I sent him the song, lyrics, and a mood board of colors, images, and vibes I saw for the song. The storyline and location choice were his ideas, though we brainstormed around them. The shoot was smooth, and we communicated in some ways without talking.
What does music mean to you? What goals do you want to achieve through your music?
I want to raise the spirits of people I reach with my songs. Music is everything to me. I work on my music every day. Over time, I hope to be able to perform more broadly worldwide. So far, I have performed in parts of the US, Europe, and Japan.
What do you want people to feel when they hear your music?
It depends on the song. "BETTER" is an optimistic tune that can help those in a rut or those on their way to a better situation if it makes them tap their feet or dance even better.
What's next for MERESHA? Can we expect to hear more new music soon? Is there anything you'd like to say to your fans?
I have started work on my debut album, which I plan to finish by August. So far, I have released singles, EPs, and compilation albums/mixtapes. This album will be my first concept album. I have already started on it. For now, fans can get to know me by listening to the "BETTER Mixtape," which includes twenty of my best songs. I am curious which ones they like best.
