MEANDER returns with ‘Hand Me Downs’, the second single from her forthcoming debut EP. Exploring generational expectations and the courage to forge your own path, the track transforms a deeply personal story into an uplifting slice of guitar-driven pop.

A driving bassline and energetic drums immediately set the pace before MEANDER’s soaring vocal takes centre stage, effortlessly lifting the song’s infectious melodies. While the track leans more towards polished pop than full-throttle rock, there’s plenty of guitar-led energy to enjoy, particularly during a brilliantly fun solo that steals the spotlight and injects an extra burst of personality.

Despite tackling themes of identity, family and self-determination, ‘Hand Me Downs’ never feels weighed down by its subject matter. Instead, it’s filled with an uplifting spirit that makes it easy to picture people singing, dancing and celebrating together. Confident, melodic and full of heart, it’s another exciting step towards MEANDER’s debut EP.
