Introducing an amazing artist known as mehro he released his first song “perfume” in 2020 and has since been heralded by music critic stalwarts like NPR’s All Songs Considered, American Songwriter, FLOOD, and The Line of Best Fit—who shared a dazzling debut live performance. His illustrious 2021 SKY ON FIRE project – written around the earth-shattering events of 2021 – propelled mehro to a higher elevation, driving him to over 75 million streams across platforms, over 240,000 Instagram followers, and half a million views on TikTok. The least surprising part of this story is that listeners around the globe have fallen for mehro. Cut from the same cloth as prodigious talents like Elliot Smith, Jeff Buckley, and Rufus Wainwright, mehro transmits a noble maturity in music. From his intuitively poignant lyrics to his deftly sensitive sound, mehro’s evocative imagery draws you in as you join him on his metaphysical meanderings. Through masterful compositions, mehro captures the essence of an old soul while watchful guardians like Flaunt, Ones To Watch, C-Heads, Variance Magazine, and many others have presaged mehro as one “of the most exciting new artists to arrive.” He was recently invited on the My Favourite Elliot Smith Song podcast. And as of October, mehro has partnered with calm.com for the “11:11” series. The mehro wave shows no sign of breaking as the worldwide love continues to pour in. With the release of his newest single “Like You’re God,” he projects a luring sound that will definitely captivate your ears. Beginning with soothing mysterious instrumentation leading onto his sweet and seductive vocals he captures the song entirely. Explaining the track a bit further it features Skittering beats, half-whispered lyrics, falsetto vocal runs – the track almost enjoys languishing in the bodily desires mehro sings about. There’s a palpable reservation that captures you, waiting for the song to burst but it never does; it just draws you deeper and deeper down into an abyss of yearning. The video continues this theme by splicing together scenes that paint a picture of a ritual by fire. Clear shots are quickly reduced to grainy film. Twitching bodies, bondage, skin on skin, a candlelight vigil. “like you’re god” is a prime example of ‘showing’ and not ‘telling’. To the vocals and production, this single will surely have your head bumping. Being just perfect for a late-night drive or hanging out with some friends. Go stream “Like You’re God”
