In her latest release, "What Do I Know?" Puget Sound native Meredith Adelaide provides a glimpse into her soul and allows listeners to meet the many people she has learnt are inside of her. It’s a song that comes less from performance than from silence and operates as something between quiet confession and private reflection on the work of defining, healing and making room to be everything you are.
Adelaide’s musical journey started in 2012, opened by the death of her father, a loss where grief turned to art. Her music has been carrying the weight of feeling with fragile restraint ever since. “What Do I Know” continues this theme by weaving together a gentle guitar texture and airy, floating melodies that evoke the feeling of being alone in a dark forest at twilight, peaceful, raw, and alive with soft truth.
She creates a tender and accepting space in her voice that feels uncertain. There’s also brave honesty in the way she interrogates her inner life, electing to celebrate rather than hide the changing selves within her. The result is a song that sounds timeless, not burdened by clear trends, but tethered instead to the human pulse.
Meredith Adelaide doesn’t profess to have any answers in “What Do I Know”. Instead, she provides presence, a suggestion that self-discovery need be about resolution only as much as it is acknowledgement of the process. It’s a profoundly human work of art, one that quietly haunts long after the final note has vanished and makes you wonder if knowing isn’t the thing, feeling is.
