Artist Bio:
Meiwa is a Canadian Folk/R&B singer-songwriter based in Naarm/Melbourne, known for her thoughtful lyrics, genre-blending sound, and a voice that radiates compassion and clarity. Her debut album Let Go & Grow earned a 2016 Western Canadian Music Award nomination for Urban Artist of the Year, and her 2018 single Wonder led to a sold-out launch and East Coast tour. During the pandemic, she expanded her audience with a global livestream of Waiting. In 2024, she released lead singles Chapter and Savour from her EP Eire, celebrated with a live show at Shotkickers. Now in 2025, Meiwa continues her momentum with singles Start Again, Freeze Frame, and Fire on the Water from her recent album Surface Tension, released on 27th June. She has shared stages with legends like Jim Byrnes, Ken Boothe, and Lee Scratch Perry, and performed at top Australian festivals including Woodford Folk Festival, WOMADelaide and Byron Bay Blues Fest as a backing vocalist for Mama Kin Spender and Thndo. Meiwas evolving body of work highlights her dedication to honest, heartfelt expression and cements her as a distinctive voice in contemporary Folk and R&B.
Album Bio:
Surface Tension is a deeply emotive and introspective album that explores the fragility of human connection, the weight of inner turmoil and the power of emotional resilience. Across its tracks, the album weaves themes of love, loss, vulnerability and healing through evocative storytelling and rich, sensory imagery. From the tender longing of "Magnolia" and the existential dread in "Prey" to the raw confessionals in "Tired" and "Fire on the Water," the songs expose the tension between emotional depth and the need for self-preservation. Tracks like "Broke the Rules" and "Freeze Frame" depict fleeting intimacy and the tension between illusion and truth in relationships, while "Hiding" and "Emocean" embrace emotional overwhelm with both fear and surrender. Yet, amid the struggle, there are moments of solace and rebirth. "Sunday Island" offers a breath of quiet intimacy, while the closing tracks, especially "Start Again," deliver a sense of renewal and hopean invitation to let go of the past and move forward with grace. Unified by a current of vulnerability and introspection, Surface Tension captures the complexities of being humandrifting between chaos and calm, pain and peace, always seeking equilibrium beneath the surface.
