Following the release of their debut album Iridescence, Los Angeles-based duo Mermaid (Brittany Campbell and Candace Quarrels) have shared their visual album to accompany the project.

The collection of visualizers showcases each track from the album, including previously released music and lyric videos such as “Thrivin’,” “Purr,” “Boundaries,” and “On A Cloud,” while also introducing unreleased footage for the remaining tracks like “Block 37 (Intro)”, “Broken Silence,” “Curse Of The Femmes,” “Disassociate,” “Find Me,” “Dreamer,” “Ori Yeye Yo,” “Young Ram (Interlude),” and “Wanna Be Your Lover.” 

Mermaid’s 13-track project Iridescence is full of genre exploration and focuses on love in creating a “joyful work of art.”

After individually winding their way through the worlds of theater and Broadway, appearing in major shows such as A Christmas Carol and The Book Of Mormon, the duo met while starring in the Chicago production of Hamilton. As Campbell and Quarrels discovered their musical and relationship compatibility, the pair went on to form Mermaid.

Teaming up with co-producer Sam Hoffman (Mereba, Durand Bernarr), for the making of Iridescence, the majority of which was recorded in Campbell and Quarrels’ Highland Park home studio, the project explores tones ranging from Soul and R&B to Alt-Rock, Jazz, Punk, Pop, and Metal.

The duo says:

This album is for anyone seeking the catharsis of a scream, a sigh, a moan, or a triumphant shout. Mermaid should be a space that feels boundless and free. Mermaid is a journey in love, openness, and friendship. It’s us having fun and sharing our hearts.
