…where the time went, MEREDITH LANE Stranger
Meredith Lane Stranger is available on American Standard Time, Apple Music,

It’s been some time since Jewel, Shawn Colvin, and Tracy Chapman dominated college and mainstream radio, alas, if you’re looking for an heir apparent, look no further than Nashville-based singer-songwriter Meredith Lane and her recent single, “Stranger”.
Airy and tactile, this raw track lets Lane’s words breathe and give way to the weightiness to sink in. But, for me, the magic is when Lane goes gutturally deep so that her higher register can punctuate the vibe. The kind of vocal dexterity that made the before mentioned folk-pop superstars resonate with legends of fans over the years.
Storytelling is a tricky arena, as is having the kind of voice that feels as timeless as it is of the now and Meredith Lane and this single seem to have found the nearly unachievable balance. Hear for yourself, you can stream “Stranger”, here at the GTC.
