Biography
Canadian singer-songwriter Merival writes searching songs out of deeply personal tension. Heartache, dysfunction, and interpersonal growth inform her introspective lyrics; philosophical musings are carried by her deceptively involved musical arrangements. Vulnerability is the name of her game, by turns light-hearted and heavy. After the indie success of her EP Lovers in 2016 and notable collaborations on Izzard’s Secret Garden (feat. Merival) and swim good now’s Since U Asked (feat. Merival) , Merival released her first full length, Lesson, in 2019. Her steadily increasing critical acclaim over the past five years has garnered attention from Earmilk, The 405, Now, CBC Canada, Clash Magazine, and Gold Flake Paint. “Lesson” was rated #7 on DOMINIONATED's Favourite Fifty of 2019. In performance, the honesty of Merival’s powerful voice transfixes audiences and brings them into a new space filled with personal journies and arcane musical exploration. Merival's newest EP Either Side was released in April 2020.
