Bre Kennedy strikes a chord of personal evolution and self-love in her latest single, Meantime, released on June 23, 2023. This vibrant and compelling track serves as a precursor to her highly anticipated EP, Scream Over Everything (Side A). With its poignant narrative and catchy melody, Meantime signals a new chapter in Bre’s musical journey, one that is punctuated by introspection and a pursuit of self-care.
The song weaves an intimate tale of personal growth, capturing the essence of finding one’s own path amidst the complexities of a relationship. Bre’s soulful narration champions the idea of self-prioritisation, a necessity of inner strength and resilience during times of change and growth.
Meantime is, in essence, a mid-tempo love song, but the twist is that the love Bre emphasises is the love one should have for oneself. “This is a song to someone you love in a time of change and growth to say, ‘I know things are hard right now, but in the meantime, I still love you. It’s about learning to fully show up for yourself in order to be able to show up for someone else. ‘Me loving me is loving you,’” shares Bre. This introspective and heartfelt message is a beacon of empowerment that resonates deeply with listeners.
Musically, Meantime has a soothing vibe and a catchy melody. Bre’s emotive vocals deliver every lyric with raw honesty, enhancing the relatability of the song. The acoustic guitar accompaniment adds a warm, comforting touch, creating an intimate atmosphere that contrasts beautifully with the song’s anthemic undertones.
Meantime is a song for anyone who has ever struggled with self-love and self-care or has faced the difficult decision of choosing themselves. As such, it not only serves as a promising glimpse into Bre’s upcoming EP but also as a celebration of her forthcoming headline tour.
In a world that often demands we prioritise others, Meantime is a gentle reminder of the importance of showing up for oneself. Bre’s song is a heartfelt anthem that champions the importance of self-love in times of change and growth.
In the meantime, let’s celebrate the power of self-love as we look forward to the release of Scream Over Everything (Side A), which promises to be a relatable and empowering journey.
