meija x JAWNY – “Magic”

LA based Jamie Sierota, aka meija (“it’s pronounced “meija” per his social media) drops his latest “Magic” with fellow artist JAWNY. The track itself is absolutely one of the chillest tracks I’ve heard so far this year – driven by guitar and a simple-yet-effective drum beat that keeps the lo-fi groove going.

Meija – “How You Like”

Meija (aka LA-based producer/songwriter Jamie Sierota) has had a long and storied career, culminating in the synth-drenched indie-pop of his most recent music.

The song has an interesting lyrical presence, best explained by Meija himself – about the song, Jamie says: “It is a song about intimacy and how our culture talks (or doesn’t!) about it. Nobody sees you at your worst quite like the clerk who works at the store down the street. You run out, last minute, barely dressed, to go make some embarrassing purchase. I mean, what’s more intimate than that? They might even know more about you than your closest friend!” “How You Like” is also available on Spotify.
