Hear this lovely piano instrumental version of “The Laundry Bin” off of Mree’s new album Empty Nest. Interesting fact that it was originally written as an instrumental until Mree decided to put lyrics over it. I’m glad she did though because it’s my favorite song off the album. (:

Empty Nest: Album Review

Empty Nest sounds like a breather between albums. A chance for Mree to collect her thoughts after the spectacle that was Winterwell. It sounds like you’re sitting on a rock next to a riverbank after a long, arduous hike through the woods, contemplating your thoughts, the sun just beginning to set. Mree’s music has always been about atmosphere and ambience, but never has it been so evident as on this album. At the end of “Red Sparrow”, you can hear the faint sound of a church bell in the distance. “Trouble” opens up with bird sounds (which Mree enlisted help from her little friend). With these songs, Mree is taking her listeners on a journey through magical places that seem to only exist in children’s storybooks. At only seven songs, it’s a quick listen, but a sweet, rewarding one nonetheless.

Talkabout: The album opens up with the lead single. Mree sings in a hushed tone, with background vocals reminiscent of Enya. But then the chorus sets in, and it’s almost as big of a surprise as the drop on “Into the Well”. The beats sound more polished, more refined. This is Mree saying that she knows what she’s doing and she’s not afraid to show it.

Little Bird: The first taste of new material a few months after Winterwell was released. Ever since then, I was quietly anticipating her next release. It’s crazy to imagine that this song was conceived shortly after Winterwell because it fits in perfectly with the vibe on this album. Has she really grown as an artist just a few weeks after her sophomore effort? And is there no limit to her growth?? This song proves that Mree isn’t planning on stopping any time soon, and I’m excited to see where she’s headed in her musical journey.

The Laundry Bin: Probably my favorite song on the album. The harmonies in the chorus reminds me of a song from a Disney movie, and I feel like this was exactly the vibe she was going for. On top of that, it reminds me of childhood. A feeling of unbridled innocence. A walk through a magical forest where the birds are singing songs and the wind is whistling its own tune. It takes me out of reality if only for a little bit and sets me into a place that exists in a childhood storybook. I honestly think it’s one of the most beautiful pieces of music Mree has ever composed.

Eat Sleep Worry: The magnum opus of Mree’s talents as a singer/songwriter. It sounds like a culmination of everything Mree has put out since Grow. The lyrics are poignant, the melodies are gorgeous, and the chorus is something that sounds like it belongs on the Top 100 charts. With this song, you can truly hear Mree’s maturity as a singer. She sounds more confident and true to herself than ever before.

Trouble: This sounds like the “sunset” of the album. The end of the day, and nearing the end of the album. On Winterwell, “On Echo” sounded like the most grandiose of all the songs, but on this album, every song sounds grand. Just listen to that buildup to the chorus and you can hear why.

Red Sparrow: This song is all about ambience. It’s evident by her implementation of church bells and wind sounds. When read out loud, the lyrics sound like a beautiful poem. I was hoping that buildup at 1:52 would lead somewhere, but the song quickly ends before it has anywhere to go. I just wish the song was longer.

Lighthouse: The last chapter in Mree’s story. If you were wondering how Mree could top the piano-only “Winter” on Winterwell, “Lighthouse” is the answer. This song is just as, if not more, beautiful than “Winter.” It’s really hard to imagine that the only instrument used is a piano on this song. It sounds so grand, and a perfect closer to the album.

If you compare Empty Nest to Grow, you’ll find a lot of similarities. That theme of fall colors, of love and loss, of growth is still present. But on Empty Nest, Mree solidifies herself as a force to be reckoned with. Her maturity as an artist is evident. With each album, Mree develops more and more, and that’s something impressive in itself. Empty Nest may be only 7 songs long, but in those 7 songs, she not only treats her fans to new music, but also creates music worthy of being played on the radio. Mree’s fanbase is steadily growing, and it’s only a matter of time before she becomes a sensation. But for now, we can all appreciate Mree’s humble growth and development. I’m already anticipating the next release! (:

“It's been a long time since Winterwell, but I'm so thrilled to finally release my 3rd album today. I wrote Empty Nest during these past two years to address the insecurity, loss, and homesickness that followed the flurry of leaving my childhood home. I recorded it in my bedroom and at Cloud Mountain Sound, a magical studio on Orcas Island, WA with engineer/mixer, Henri Bardot. To my fans, thank you for your warmth and support, for helping me feel at home when I am not. It is a joy to share these songs with you and I hope you enjoy.” – Mree
