The track is a rousing tribute to the artist’s mother.
Toronto-based singer-songwriter Meagan De Lima is an artist who has established an emotionally rousing and consistently sweet brand of R&B that feels as effortless and enjoyable to listen to on each of her releases.
On her latest release ‘Queen’, Meagan pays homage to her mother, and the track bleeds with a sincerity and authenticity that rings throughout the track. Due to the artist’s musical heritage through her family and her rich cultural upbringing, the track is blessed with a distinctive flavour that permeates Meagan’s work, and the fact that the song is about family, and more specifically her mother, makes such a rousing, emotional, culturally rich release all the more blissful and engaging. This is a feel-good piece of contemporary R&B to lose yourself in and get carried away by the good vibes.
“I love my mom. I made this song to shine a light on her heart, and the ferocity and resiliency that makes her march to the beat of her own drum.” Meagan says of the track. “My mom not only inspires me as a passionate mother of three and a South Asian immigrant to Canada but also because of the mountains she’s climbed later in life, too. She is a breast cancer survivor, played a support role to my father when he was diagnosed a year later, and so much more. I am grateful to have had her to look up to not only as a mom but as a best friend and role model to lean on when times got tough. I want to dedicate this song not only to her but to the dynamic and fierce people we all have in our lives that inspire us and show us what genuine love and strength are made of.”
