Rock trio Meet Me @ The Altar have shared their single “Strangers.” The track arrives alongside an official video, and will appear on the deluxe version of the band’s next album Past // Present // Future, slated for arrival on September 29. Keep reading below for the video and more.
Pre-order Past // Present // Future Deluxe here.
Frontwoman Edith Victoria expanded on the track, ““Strangers” wrestles with self-consciousness. It’s about experiencing the nagging self-doubt that fuels imposter syndrome or accuses you of not being strong enough to endure what life has a tendency to throw at you. The song explores the sensation that you’re missing out on being your true self and reaching your full potential because you can’t shake the thought that you’re not good enough. Sometimes I catch myself questioning how much further along I might be toward my goals if it weren’t for anxiety and self-sabotage.”
“Strangers” follows previous deluxe single “Give It Up,” in addition to their long-awaited cover of “Take Me Away” from the iconic 2000s movie, Freaky Friday.
In March, the group unveiled their highly-anticipated debut album Past // Present // Future. Calling upon iconic producer John Fields (Jonas Brothers, P!NK, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato), the album sheds any notion of sonic limitations and was heralded by singles “Say It (To My Face)” (which also soundtracked a national ad campaign for Taco Bell), “Kool,” and “TMI.” The group made their late-night television debut on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, followed up with a performance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, marking their daytime performance debut. Meet Me @ The Altar recently discussed the album at length with the Zach Sang Show.
