Came here from Flea's post in IG, she about to blow up. Good stuff.

[@Rawblah]

Likewise, great stuff! Thanks Flea, thank you Mei Simones!

Made it in today but got the ep that day too ✌🏼

I just had this recommended to me on my TIDAL app and honestly I don't think I have ever been so enthralled by ANY new artist I have ever encountered. Mei is really pioneering her own sound, she has a lot of the Japanese influences that I like ( I listen to a lot of Japanese music ) But yet she has a totally authentic indie NYC sound.

I truly hope she can survive the B.S. of the music business. She is so talented.

Super interesting, love the violins

[@ashleynatalie5705]

She's a true gem! Lucky enough to see her play a free concert in BK with the band in tow. Small note on the vid- wish the timestamps had accurate song titles!
