"There were compelling reasons for being at Jack's Bar on Friday to watch Merilette..."
"...Also unexpected, until one sees her live, is the gothic edge to some of the tracks. It's a fine line between self-indulgence and the point where genius begins, and Merilette seems willing to traipse a Kate Bush art-pop line in the sand."
"..."Weird" is often what makes rock 'n' roll great. This young woman's got it, whether reveling in the cascading vocal overlays of "Chillbit," Lorde-style minimalism on "Catch the Sun" or singing about cannibalism..." - MySA.com
"Respected rock critic Lisa Robinson asserts in her riveting insider memoir, “There Goes Gravity: A Life in Rock and Roll,” that the New York rock scene really was born at the New York Dolls’ first gig in 1972.
Maybe one day they’ll say the same thing about Merilette — and how the DIY teen pop, hip-hop and electro-dance music on her debut album, “MindPaint,” marked the real beginning of the 21st century music scene in San Antonio.
It’s got my vote..." - San Antonio Express News
Merilette performs Kaleidoscope on Great Day SA. - Kens 5
"...I was surprised to learn that she has put all of this together at the age of 17. She is very sharp and I think the world will definitely be seeing more of her in the future. Her music has an introspective indie synth pop sound..." - Creative Socialite

Bio
Merilette: born of the kaleidoscope and the paintbrush, comprised of both dark and bright colors.
At the age of 5, Merilette became interested in classical music. She began singing opera and was classically trained in the art of violin.
But her musical palette began expanding. Greatly.
At 13, she became the director for a San Antonio music performance group.
At 15, she released her debut single, Catch the Sun.
At 16, she released her next single, The Queen.
And on her 17th birthday, she will be releasing her debut album, MindPaint, worldwide.
"Wilkommen, lovelies, to Meriletteâ₏™s inner sanctum. Her introspection, interpretation and association of anything and everything that has ever floated about as a thought or feeling, and made any kind of an influence on her life up until this point. Anything that has left behind any form of hue, be it bright or dark, shiny or dull. This is a collection of her inner self; her creativity; her elation and anguish; her heart and soul; this, lovelies, is MindPaint.
Vocally heavy-hitting and thoughtfully written, Mindpaint is a collaboration of personal experiences, collective consciousness, and kinetic synth. It is the perfect mix of a little bit of everything that everyone can relate to in some way, shape or form. Because it is realistic. And it is distinct, yet divergent in the same instance. Because it is Merilette; she embodies every drop of sound that will soak your inner ear as you listen. So enjoy, lovelies; after all, it is about the music, and how it moves you, both literally and figuratively."
