North Carolina born, Mexico City based vocalist, songwriter, and producer, Meraki Trice is sharing a new single entitled “Waste Your Breath,” written in the aftermath of a transactional relationship.
The hazy and ethereal song mixes analog, digital, and acoustic sounds to create a richly produced soundscape which Trice likens to the feeling of walking in the clouds or floating in the air. “Waste Your Breath” blends elements of electronic music, rnb, and pop to create a highly melodic plane of existence.

“What I allowed him to get away with for too long was his lying about his intentions,” Trice says of their ex. “This song to me is a retort to him, refuting his claims and laying bare the reality of our superficial relationship.”
Trice borrowed the song title from a saying of their grandmother’s – “don’t waste your breath” – a phrase she would use when she knew that Trice was about to lie, or when they got caught in a situation that Trice couldn’t explain their way out of.
“The title to me resembles seeing the character of a person, judging their actions, and not allowing their words to cloud the outcomes,” the artist explains.
