Mia Wray Unveils Debut Album ‘hi, it’s nice to meet me’ and New Single ‘Nice To Meet Me’ Exploring Queer Identity

Melbourne’s burgeoning music scene just got a jolt of authenticity with the announcement of Mia Wray’s highly anticipated debut album, hi, it’s nice to meet me. Set to drop on March 14 via Mushroom Music, the album promises a revelatory journey through the complexities of self-discovery, love, and queer identity, as showcased in the fresh single, “Nice To Meet Me.”

Wray’s musical narrative traverses deeply personal terrain, and “Nice To Meet Me” serves as a poignant introduction to her world. “This was the last song that was written,” Wray reflects on the track, which she crafted alongside producer Aidan Hogg and rising star G Flip. “I told them the story of how I was with my partner when I met this girl—it was the cherry on top, the final realization that something was really knocking at the door for me.”

Wray’s storytelling shines through in vivid imagery, recalling a bittersweet breakup in the serene hills of Warrandyte, leaving the listener to ponder the ebb and flow of love and self-acceptance. “I remember kissing him for the last time—I knew it was the last time, that was very intense.” The track encapsulates a moment of vulnerability and clarity, encapsulating themes of heartbreak entwined with personal awakening.

The twelve-track collection also features previously released singles, “Tell Her” and “What If,” each resonating with Wray’s signature blend of raw emotion and catchy hooks. The album’s title derives from an inner dialogue that Wray describes as groundbreaking in its simplicity; it’s about reintroducing herself to her own identity. “It’s all a bit of a blur, realizing that I was probably queer,” Wray shares, “but ‘hi, it’s nice to meet me’ kept coming up in my brain as a theme. I thought it was cool and unique, I hadn’t really seen that around a lot.”

The eclectic tracklist promises a sonic exploration of Wray’s journey, touching on themes of love, self-discovery, and heartbreak. Album highlights include “The Way She Moves,” “Only Love,” and “Ghost In My Machine,” all set against a backdrop of indie-pop flair and introspective lyricism.

As Wray prepares to step into the spotlight, hi, it’s nice to meet me stands as a heartfelt invitation to connect with her artistry and narrative. The album offers a fresh perspective on the universal quest for authenticity, inviting listeners to join Wray on her vibrant journey of self-acceptance.

In a landscape that continues to evolve, Mia Wray’s voice emerges as a beacon of courage and creativity, perfectly capturing what it means to truly meet oneself for the first time.

Keep an eye out for the album’s release on March 14, 2024, and in the meantime, let “Nice To Meet Me” serve as your soundtrack for introspection and celebration of identity.
