Meernaa‘s debut album Heart Hunger is coming out on June 14 on Native Cat Recordings.
After a series of singles and EP released since 2015, Meernaa will finally unveil their debut album Heart Hunger in June. Coming with this announcement, the Oakland-based foursome have shared a Yeshe Parks-directed video for the lead single “Better Part”.
Floating away between groovy indie, smooth synth-pop and ethereal R&B, “Better Part” sounds a bit like if Marvin Gaye, Blood Orange and Jessie Ware were forming a supergroup. Modern in its fusion, retro in its aesthetic, the track also features an epic solo that definitely recalls the 80s to mind. And it’s no surprise as Meernaa‘s front woman, Carly Bond, describes it as “an extended synth intro that somehow morphed into an extreme 80’s themed mega love song”.
