Premiere: Mere Child – ‘Not Good Enough’

Aimee Herbert-Smith, aka Mere Child, is no newcomer to creating music, but has only just come back to it after focusing on the responsibilities of adult life for the last few years. About to release her debut single, on returning to making music, Herbert-Smith says:

“I felt the need to start writing and recording in a different way to how I had done before. Somehow, going solo at this point seemed fitting with the content of the songs – more vulnerable and anxiety driven.”

‘Not Good Enough’ oozes shades of the likes of Cocteau Twins and the vocals of Stevie Nicks, with its own unique electro-pop vibes. Flowing with hazy, synth-heavy melodies and Aimee’s crisp, haunting vocals, the track is filled with a majestic cinematic grandeur.

Listen to ‘Not Good Enough’, for the first time, here:

‘Not Good Enough’, the debut single from Mere Child, is set for release 9 September on Seahorse Music.
