The follow-up to the alt-pop singer’s well-received MERIDIAN: vol 1 EP is out now.
Alt-pop singer morgxn has released his highly-anticipated EP, MERIDIAN: vol 2.
He comments,
“This project might be the most ‘for me’ thing I’ve ever made, because when everything stopped last year I found myself coming back to these songs not as a way to just ‘work’ but to find meaning and keep going,” morgxn explains, “Making this project was more about reminding myself that there is hope in hopelessness—possibility in impossibility, and that when everything falls apart there is purpose in the rubble. How things change, how we change because of it, and how we keep moving—these themes are all present in these songs.”
The new EP follows his MERIDIAN: vol 1 released earlier this year. The new release has earned widespread support across Asia with singles ‘DON’T THINK ABOUT IT’ and ‘HOW DO YOU HOLD WHAT HURTS’.
His recent single, ‘THE WAY IT WAS’, sees the musician teaming up with The Trevor Project. The organization offers a 24/7 hotline and trained counselors to LGBTQ+ youth. A portion of the proceeds made from morgxn’s merch has been donated to the organization.

Coming from a particularly tumultuous time in March 2020, MERIDIAN: vol 1 is shaped by a 24 hour period where morgxn experienced the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. Within one day the world went into lockdown, and morgxn was dropped by their record label of five years, leaving them devastated.
morgxn recently performed a reimagined version of his hit ‘WONDER’ with GRAMMY-award winning singer Sara Bareilles on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
