Whether you’ve heard of audalei before today or not, it’s safe to say she deserves to be on your radar immediately.
On “meringue pie,” audalei shared,
“‘meringue pie’ is a hauntingly sweet, bedroom pop hit. This song explores the cycle of short-term romances which transition from light optimistic honey moon phases to a dark reality overnight. The metaphor used is one of a beautiful sunny day that is seemingly perfect but never lasts past the sunset.”
