Merna’s new EP “For Seasons: Love in a Time of War” drops October 9th — a soulful, self-produced meditation on stillness that fuses neo-soul, alternative R&B, and ancestral Arabic oud. Recorded in Toronto with legendary collaborators Ali Shaheed Muhammad and Larnell Lewis, this five-track project channels her global roots and Grammy-nominated lyricism to explore love, faith, and healing. Born in Jordan, raised across continents, Merna blends influences from Whitney to Bob Marley into a sound that’s both intimate and expansive. After breakout success with her last album “Ours To Keep,” she’s inviting listeners to pause, breathe, and find peace amid chaos.
