"Perfume" by MEI-KA: Song Review

3 words: Plush, Rooted, Ache.

MEI-KA’s “Perfume” is an effervescent plunge into satin vocals and glitzy reverberation, introduced by ambient, bar-style piano chords. A spunky drum pattern guides the track into a dim, pop groove that holds MEI-KA’s sleek vocals close. MEI-KA notes an unbreakable, collective love despite distance reminded by the reminiscence of a signature scent. Moody synths carry the chorus through a list of what MEI-KA wants: “your good days/ I want your bad days/ I want your daily commute,” disclosing the lengths she will go to love authentically. This track is a soulful feel-good anthem coated in emotive lyrics that convey unconditional care alongside an active soundscape that attracts listeners. MEI-KA even includes recordings with a variety of voices near the end of the song to strengthen her sentimental message. With a pop-jazz flair, “Perfume” showcases MEI-KA’s vocal talent paired with careful production and lively instrumentals. 

MEI-KA is a singer, songwriter, and sound engineer based in London. She’s from San Francisco and released her debut single “Out of Sight” in 2024. She just released her brand new single “Perfume” today, a song about the ache of missing loved ones when far away.
