I've never felt so calm. Anxiety who?

First of all, her fro. Secondly, this is all the vibe. I'm swaying and bobbing my head at my desk, right now. LOVE IT!

Beautiful voice Beautiful woman Beautiful vibe Beautiful appareance Also, can we appreciate her jawline??

I’ve never heard the word “bullshit” spoken more beautifully... 😍

Her album is top tier.

Mereba and Masego could be fire together

Her unstyled afro is so beautiful. Media is flooded with manipulated fros (which are gorgeous), and makes me forget that my fro is beautiful in its natural state

Imagine dating someone who doesn't listen to this type of music...I'd die😩

I still wonder how you perfectly choose the background colors every time.

Do yourself a favor and listen to her album it's very good

Colors been putting me on. So many talented underrated black artists. ❤

I was like where is this Ethiopian accent coming from. I thought she was singing this way for the style but my gaard she IS Ethiopian, we smashing the industry🇪🇹

COLORS never dissapoints. Always 🔥🔥🔥 artists on here.

Mereba BEEN out here killing it. She BEEN out here😭😭😭

The rawness; the afro; the voice; the skin; the bass and the simplicity yet so ethereal 😩🔥🔥🔥😭

Something Issa Rae would play at the end of an episode in Insecure.

Oh my gosh! I literally discovered this amazing woman last week and now she's on Colors!! 😍

Ever since I first heard her on J.I.D's "All Bad" I knew she was special

Her Voice? ANGELIC! ✨ Her Song? TRANSCENDANT! ✨ Her Hair? MAJESTIC! ✨ Her Vibe? ETHEREAL! ✨ Hotel? TRIVAGO! ✨

COLORS is the best place to find new artist hands down

Her album is a milestone for R&B... hell, Music in general This performance made me tear up, *WOW* #SpillageVillage4Ever

Discovering New good music is one of the best feelings and COLORS is the best dealer out here!

Her album is the definition of beauty.

an ethiopian with the same hair texture as me! i love to see it 😌

I've been listening to her for 2 weeks straight. I feel like I manifested this lol

*COLORS IS THE PLACE TO BE!!!!*

The melodies so dope !!

"Iʼd rather sleep with no one beside me Than with a ghost with a heart that froze" SHHHHEEESHHHH! FIRE!

Wow ! Her voice and the music makes me want to fly , I picturize myself smiling , lying on the clouds , looking down on flower beds . The song makes me want to believe that the world is a wonderful place ! Thank you colors for introducing Mereba to me

COLORS has opened me up to a world of artists i never knew of before. #respect

I love how therapeutic her voice is. Her composure on the mic and the emotion she puts into her songs is really incredible.

This got me high and I haven't even smoked yet! Thats how you know the music is good.

She has a good flow. Music is superb ans she is so beautiful with her fro. Love it !!!

this is some black magic woman. don't sleep on her.

Stunning. Her voice is so calming and warm, she also flows with the beat perfectly.

Her visuals for these songs are mesmerizing as well.

Omg Black women are so beautiful🖤🖤🙏🙏👑👑

amazing, she sounds exactly like on the album 🤩

I played this song for my baby when she was really upset, crying loudly and she stopped and just watched and stayed calm after it went off ❤

This song is so soothing omg

The way she delivers the "No, no not this time" is soo GOOD

I really love Mereba it ain't nothing like when it comes to Mereba.

I had a feeling she would be here after I heard her album.

Found this artist from the youtuber who goes around asking " what song are you listening to " . I felt in love with with Mereba voice . Love her voice and songs.

Spotify brought me here 😁😁😁😁😁 what a song ....what a song !!!!!!!

YEP! YES! UH HUH! THAT'S A QUEEN!

We need Black Thought and Quest on here!

The crew at colors always picks the right backdrop color that represents the essence of the songs.

Can’t believe I’ve been alive this whole time and I had no idea this song existed. We thank God for bringing me to the light today

When I first listened to stay Tru I teared up, when I listened to black truck I felt so hyped up, when I listened to Souvenir I felt an otherworldly calm. I have never seen any other artist do that before and that’s why she’s a blessing to music

clicked for the afro, stayed for the vibes

She is just mesmerizing! The talent, the beauty, the grace! Absolute BLACK GIRL MAGIC!

This was the perfect reminder that self love is more important .

im 24 and i've reached a point where i cut off all negative people from my life including family. Life is good, i think god for this wonderful and sometimes crazy, sad, horrific journey. +10 positive points to everyone here

If we put her amazing music, her wonderful voice and her beauty aside - can we also appreciate the clean silhouette of her outfit

Soo smoooth but still got a sick rythm...just love how COLORS keep it colorfull;)

So happy to see Mereba on COLORS!!! She's a healer for certain...pure light that makes you feel good.

COLORS is the place to be in KZfaq... no doubt at all

Imagine if they performed Sandstorm with J.I.D together 🤯

You know a song is hitting when it has as many likes as this particular song has and the very few amount of dislikes in comparison! Very nice song! I definitely will be on the lookout for her music!

The vybe and truth of this song! Mutual! Love!

Love her 💜. Her and Ari Lennox would be great together

Was gifted the discovery of this song last year around my awakening.. Love it. Holds so much meaning to me, a year later I’m ascending again and been listening to this.. And just got it tatted on me😂🥰 STAY TRU🤞🏾7️⃣

YES I WAS PRAYING SHE WOULD CHOOSE THIS SONG I LOVE IT SO MUCH

This song soothes my soul...I come back to this video when I feel a way. Thank you Mereba and COLORS!

Mereba Deserves This Recognition!!! SO underrated 🔥🔥😍

She's a vibe ✊ Glad I was able to know another new great artist today! Thanks COLORS 🙆

her album is godsend, y'all should take a listen

This is the most beautiful song ive heard. It made me smile and put me in a whole different mood. She is as of today my favorite artist.

The Jungle is the only way out...my only way in is playing this album every morning to ensure I am sane throughout the day...Planet U and Bet are my fire tracks..

Thank you random dude walking the streets of New York for the recommendation.

I can't stop listening to this, you're big Mereba ♥

Got to see Mereba perform live this past weekend at Baby’s All Right in Brooklyn NYC ,and she sounds amazing live ! I am so grateful so thankful to my friend for introducing me to her music a true gift !

From first seeing her on this Colours show to singing every lyric with her at In The City in South Africa over the past weekend is wild. Mereba really is deity level good.

Man she is so good. I love her voice❣✌🏽

That mic is something different! The way it picks up her voice and ad libs is crazy

You can't listen to this and abuse women YOU JUST CAN'T! I love Mereba 🌿

this is coming from a special place. recognize that place in you.

She's a breath of musical fresh air.

the entire songs vibe is like a group hug... love this song

man why do I always keep coming back to this song...!? Meraba, COLORS, thank you for this..

I swear it is spellbinding! I'm here for the 2nd time today, 25th this week, 68th this month.

I made all kind of faces when she got on that chorus smooth af

LOVE this song not sure how eye came across but divinely grateful! Love my African artists. Ethipioan artists like her and Alewya >>

this the smoothest song i ever heard in my life

Mannnn I’n still so happy Mereba was featured here. She deserves so much fame. Her music is perfection.

Hearing this live first before actually hearing the studio version had me obsessed with hearing this when the project officially dropped 🌻

COLORS never disappoints me with their taste in music seriously!!! Where do they find these fineasses musicians bro

I'm so glad COLORS exists, I find so much good music here

I just... I... wow!🤯 I’m literally here everyday and it never gets old.

She's so chill.

I've loved her since her song September. The epitome of dopeness she is 💕

More ppl should know about her, her new album is definitely a MASTERPIECE!

That mint backdrop is perfect for her.

🎵🎶See I'm hella hip this time. Ain't going down with no ship this time. 🎵🎶

Hearing her on J.I.D's track awhile back had me in awe and same with this performance

No lie, I clicked this by mistake and I’m not mad at all. Pleasant

I love you Mereba!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for making me feel so alive. Right to the soul. #OnRepeat ❤️
