“I’ve adopted the term “zen nihilist” ’cause I feel like, especially when I wrote that song, too, it was just the beginning of the pandemic, and I didn’t have any money, and I just moved to LA with Rob [Shelton, musical collaborator], and we had no plans.
I don’t know, but right now, it’s chill.” So Far So Good is a 2023 studio album by American pop musician Meernaa.
Neville Hardman's feature interview with Meernaa for Alternative Press called this release "a psychedelic soul-search" that "reflects a measured step forward" for the musician.
[2] In Billboard, Jason Lipshutz included the title track as one of 10 pop songs to recommend to readers, recommending it to "fans of idiosyncratic, relatively chilled-out indie-pop a la Aldous Harding, Westerman and Nilüfer Yanya" as a "quietly effective new track" with "elegant instrumentation" and "delectable hooks".
[3] Editors at Pitchfork shortlisted this as a recommended album of the week[4] and critic Vrinda Jagota gave it a 7.4 out of 10 for being able to pair "abstract imagery with elegant arrangements on her dreamy, open-ended second album" continuing that Meernaa's vocals have a sense of longing but "despite the intensity of the emotion, the symphonic, elegant arrangements make her words feel accessible and inviting".
