After seeing pretty decent success last year with the release of her debut single ‘Vulnerable’ and then ‘Overexposure’, Geneva-based independent artist merigold now triumphantly returns with a fierce and politically charged anthem called ‘Digital Empathy’. Taking listeners on a distinctly different sonic path compared to previous releases, merigold’s latest offering has an intense, almost post-punk vibe going on. It’s hard-hitting, unapologetic, and demands your attention!
Blending raw emotion with playful and rhythmic hooks, ‘Digital Empathy’ finds its inspiration in acts like Le Tigre and Pussy Riot. There’s an anger that seeps through its pores, and a forcefulness that pulses through every beat.
“‘Digital Empathy’ channels my two decades of working in or near war zones and playing in dive bars, capturing both the urgency of our times and my deeply personal experiences,” says merigold, reflecting on the tune’s underlying message. A bold and uncompromising critique of the automation of armed conflict, it’s a track that turns protest into poetry and hits like a battle cry.
Accompanying merigold’s latest song is a striking music video created by Priscilla Spreaco. Words can’t do it justice, but we’re proud to share it with you below!
