Portland-based pop rock project Merida unveil their latest single, “Tied,” a poignant preview of their upcoming album Radar Aware, set to release tomorrow. The track explores the emotional weight of feeling stuck in place, caught in a moment of inertia. “Tied” opens with vocals that provide heavy waves of vulnerability and emotion while the guitar work offers a bright contrast, weaving light through the song’s steady, captivating vocal cadence. The result is a soundscape that feels introspective, like wandering through the corridors of one’s own mind. There’s an assuredness to the singer’s delivery, showing that they know they will get through this rut.
“Tied” is released ahead of Murida’s debut album, Radar Aware, out October 7th, 2025.
