At the age of 19, Meg Myers moved to Los Angeles to record her debut album ‘Sorry’ released via Atlantic Records. That album spawned top 15 and top 20 alternative radio hits, “Desire” and “Sorry,” respectively. Myers’ striking and visceral music videos skyrocketed to upwards of 9 million YouTube views, and her Spotify plays rank in the tens of millions.
Now she’s announced her third album TZIA to be released on Friday, March 24th via Sumerian Records. The leading single from the album, “ME,” was released on January 31st.

Meg initially teased this chapter last year with the release of 3 singles, eluding as to what’s to come during this album cycle. “Sophia <144>” featuring Nicole Perretti was a song about unification, “CHILDREN OF LIGHT II ” was a song about facing our fears to become who we are, and “HTIS (Hiding That I’m Sexual)” featuring luna Shadows and Carmen Vandenberg (member of Grammy Nominated rock band Bones UK) focused on becoming acquainted with the insecurities and imperfections of the self. All singles tie into the overarching album theme of the “liberation of the self by bringing light to the shadows,” according to Meg herself. All singles eclipsed over 2M+ Spotify streams and 1.5M+ views on YouTube.
“TZIA is the manifestation of a 4-year-long journey of healing, existential awakening, transformation, and rebirth. I am so grateful to be able to share this light and the insights I have gained with you through this exploration and expression of my deepest and most raw and honest feelings that have emerged from this period of self-reflection.”
“A New Society (one of the singles on the album) is a protest song about the breakdown in humanity and collapsing of old systems as we shift into a new era and build structures based upon truth and love instead of manipulation and control. I feel strongly that what we write about has the ability to manifest into our physical reality, and so my intention with this song is for it to be the conscious planting of a seed that continues to grow for generations to come.”
