A Swiss artist with Chinese roots, Meira Loom combines elements of soul, jazz, and world music. In her music, she’s seeking the essence—the essence of her identity as a person and as a musician. “What happens if I define my musical identity all on my own?” In the past, Meira Loom has played and sung in many bands and has performed on stage with world stars: Bobby McFerrin and Anastacia, among others. Today she follows her own path, creating something new and discovering herself in the process.

Meira Loom is a singer, musician, and songwriter: on her debut album, Letting Go, she puts all of these qualities to use. A first single, Undertow, was released on 19 June 2020. Letting Go will be released on August 28, 2020.

Letting Go contains eleven carefully and stylishly arranged songs. The intimate setting makes room for Meira Loom's versatile voice which can seamlessly switch between unbridled strength and sensitive vulnerability. Loom sings about letting go and about self-indulgence, comfort zones that are no more, and changes that can be postponed no further.

Lyrics:

Doorkeeper, will you take the bribe?
I forgot the code, but I gotta get outside
Found the perfect place to hide
But now I’m lost

So long underwater, can’t recall my name
Need to get back home and see what’s changed
Every part’s replaced, am I still the same?
Or have I crossed

Over into the undertow
The water’s draggin’ at my clothes
I’m caught up in the undertow
You won’t hear from me no more, no more

Cold water gets in my eyes and my breath
Is this how it feels, getting closer to death?
I hear the calling of the depths
And fall asleep

Oh, Mama, don’t you cut the cord
What I most need now is a restful port
Will you deliver my sodden corpse?
When I leap

Over into the undertow
The water’s draggin’ at on my clothes
I’m caught up in the undertow
You won’t hear from me no more, no more

I was strong and smart and fast
But I wasn’t wise and I didn’t last
Gimme a breath, give me a beat
Gimme somethin’ human
something sweet
Before you press delete

And I grow
Over into undertow
The water’s draggin’ at my clothes
I’m caught up in the undertow
You won’t hear from me no more
In the undertow
The water’s draggin’ at my clothes
I’m caught up in the undertow
You won’t hear from me no more, no more
