Alt-pop singer-songwriter Meiko is set to release her third LP Dear You on October 14 via Fantasy Records/Concord Music Group. She has now shared the lead single for the track, "Be Mine."
The song is a confessional track that finds her pining after desired love.
"I take a sip of the bottle, it's my remedy," she sings. "And I know that it is a problem; I am dealing with it on the daily."
The new album follows up her 2012 release The Bright Side, which reached No. 1 on the iTunes Singer-Songwriter chart with her single "Stuck On You." However, this time around the material has a darker tone that explores longing, betrayal, heartbreak and reprisal.
According to a press release, the 11-track effort consists primarily of unsent letters she wrote during trying times in her life.
"I like writing letters: love letters, pissed-off letters, breakup letters," she explains. "I rarely wind up mailing those letters, though. Instead, I turn them into songs. Dear You is an album mostly filled with those unsent notes."
The album features a mix of alt-pop, electronic, minimalist indie rock, and digital folk tracks, produced by Jimmy Messer.
Meiko professes, "It's not all candy and roses, but sometimes you just need the grit and that's exactly how I imagined Dear You being -- completely confessional. It was good for my soul and I'm happy to finally let it out into the world."
The album is available for pre-order on Amazon, and you can check out the track now on Paste.
