THE BREEZE GREW A FIRE

Southern-bred, alternative R&B singer-songwriter
Mereba artistically embodies self-understanding on The Breeze
Grew a Fire, her grandest work and first release on Secretly
Canadian. To hone in on this latest album, it was necessary for
Mereba to reconnect with her whole many-sided self, from her
inner child to her inseparable relationships. Mereba peacefully
transmutes her beginnings, looking upon her closest kinships
and friendships with a keen understanding of their steadying,
inspirational force. Surrounded by the gentle Breeze of these
relationships and recollections, Mereba is empowered as both
an artist and mother, while also being reminded to nurture her
childlike wonder.
Mereba gracefully shines on the follow-up to her
bounteous 2019 debut, The Jungle Is the Only Way Out. In
escaping the Jungle, Mereba faced the paradigm shift of
birthing a son in 2021 and getting accustomed to a rapidly
changing self-outlook. Mereba's creative output has always
relied on her innermost reflections and ideas on whatever was
happening around her; but in motherhood, the singer's
perspective widened while her inspiration became more
focused, and more individually powerful.
