Reviews:

“Merritt’s vocal timbre is unlike anything you’ve ever heard, combining a smooth head voice with a low-register rasp. Then, on top of that, the instrumentation has this dreamy, driving atmosphere that just feels mesmerizingly immersive… It’s easy to just melt into the seamless, brilliant songwriting. Merritt graces us with something truly poignant and effective here, and it’s impossible not to appreciate the droves of musicality.” -Rising Artists Blog

“Gibson shares her star potential and sheer magnetism.  The Nashville based songwriter is an impending indie pop breakthrough with mainstream potential.  Say you heard her first.” -The Wild Is Calling

“The sound itself has this really endearing rawness throughout, with the emotion of the lyrics on full display thanks to the stripped-back nature of the sound and Merritt’s engrossing performance.” -Clout

“As she pursues sophistication and raw emotion in pop music, Gibson is a naturally gifted storyteller who just so happens to have a richly beautiful voice to pair with it.” -Our Sound Music

World Burns Down

From the Press Release…

“Pop singer-songwriter Merritt Gibson is releasing “World Burns Down,” an obsessive and intensely emotional addition to the canon of pop minimalism. It has all the makings of a hit for the Internet Age: a unique backstory— she woke up from a fever dream with the first verse fully written in her head; sophisticated lyrics that have led to comparisons to Lorde and Taylor Swift; and a catchy, yet minimalist, melody reminiscent of Billie Eilish. Merritt’s smooth and alluring vocal delivery makes for an engrossing and all-encompassing listening experience.

JEFF BURGER, NO DEPRESSION

"MERRITT GIBSON WRITES SONGS THAT ARE DEEPLY PERSONAL AND UNFLINCHINGLY HONEST AS SHE SEEKS TO UNDERSTAND THE WORLD AND HOW SHE FITS INTO IT—A QUEST TO WHICH WE CAN ALL RELATE. COLLEGE FRESHMAN GIBSON, HOWEVER, DISPLAYS PERSPECTIVE AND OBSERVATION THAT IS BEYOND HER YEARS."
