TYLER MEACHAM
—EMERGING INDIE-POP ARTIST—
RELEASES NEW SINGLE
“AS IF WHAT SHE SAYS”

FULL LENGTH ALBUM 
INTO THE FRAY
OUT FEBRUARY 25

NASHVILLE, TN (November 17, 2021) — Emerging indie-pop artist Tyler Meacham has released her latest single “As If What She Says.” A standout from her ultra-authentic Into The Fray album due February 25, 2022, “‘As If What She Says’ is a song about self-worth, self-love and body image,” explains Meacham.   

PopWrapped recently raved that “Tyler Meacham embodies what it means to be an artist. The music that she is releasing is not only beautiful, but it is all so relatable in so many ways. She has one of the prettiest, most unique voices I have personally heard in music in so long.”

“The story told in the first verse of this song characterizes my inner-critic as a mean girl who never sees me as good enough. Halfway through the song, the tone shifts a bit. Although the lyrics are the same, the feeling I’d like to convey is a reclaiming of that self-image,” says Meacham. 

Meacham was climbing the glorified ladder of success and able to secure her dream job, yet, she found herself incredibly unhappy. “I followed a very clear cut path for my life — get good grades, get into a good college, pick a major that can result in a well-paying job, get the job and be comfortable forever,” says Meacham. “I ended up in an amazing corporate job that I really wanted to love. It was a dream job! I practically lived in a theme park. However, I made the unconscious choice to put aside songwriting and any dream I had of being a musician for the security of a good paycheck, good job title, and a plannable future.” 

Now, in the wake of a tumultuous year and an ongoing global pandemic - Meacham is ready to continue her forward momentum into the fray of life. “Whether I’m writing a song about anxiety or relationships, I often start without realizing there’s something I need to process,'' reflects Meacham. “By the end of writing it, I’ve hopefully discovered something new. I try not to shy away from authenticity and vulnerability in my songwriting. I know I’m not the only person in the world that struggles with mental health.” 

Equally relatable, emotionally heavy and laid on strong foundations of narrative-forward songwriting and eclectic productions, Tyler's versatile approach has led her to develop tracks spanning from fully produced pop to more stripped-back sonic affairs. Lyrically, everything she writes pivots around emotional experiences from her past, honing in on love, loss, and her personal struggle with anxiety and self-esteem.

“It’s really important to me that as an artist, I’m not just a pretty girl writing pretty pop songs,” continues Meacham. “If there’s a message about something I believe in and it will fit into a song that I'm working on, I’m going to share it unabashedly.”   

With Into The Fray, there is definitely a through line to take away about how our relationship with self can transform our relationships with others. “But more than anything,” finalizes Meacham, “I hope people hear these songs and maybe feel a little less alone, a little less lost in whatever it is life has presented them with.”
