Rating: 5 out of 5.
A powerful alt-pop gem that’s truly a transformative experience.
Meredith Gleason returns with her emotionally charged new single, “Thursday,” a haunting exploration of heartbreak and the passage of time. Known for her evocative style and introspective lyrics, Gleason first captured attention with her five-track EP Fluorescent and the single “Venomous Nights.” With “Thursday,” she continues to solidify her place as one of the most exciting voices in alt-pop.
“Thursday” blends dreamy synth textures with soft yet powerful vocals, offering a soundscape that is both intimate and cinematic. Lyrics like “Last week was the last week we ever spoke, Thursday was the first day never said hello,” and “It hurts when I know you’re never coming back, Takes time to know time’s never on your side,” reflect on emotional distance, lost connection, and the painful clarity that comes with letting go.
With ethereal production and a tone that balances melancholy with hope, “Thursday” is a sonic journey through grief, nostalgia, and acceptance. Gleason’s signature storytelling and vocal depth create a truly transformative listening experience.
