Mia Wray - hi, it's nice to meet me (2025) [Hi-Res]

The Mia Wray effect has been real in recent years: it is an effect that immediately captures the attention of the listener, refusing to let go. Holding the listener in a warm embrace, is a voice that encompasses a beautiful maturity gained from experiences lived; for Mia Wray, music has been an avenue to discover more about herself as a human, as well as the artist she has always wanted to be. Now, Mia has arrived at a long-awaited precipice of her career: the release of her debut studio album, hi, it’s nice to meet me.

hi, it’s nice to meet me is an introduction to the real Mia, to the artist herself. A striking pop record in the most contemporary of senses, hi, it’s nice to meet me encompasses a variety of Mia’s musical influences; from beautiful indie-folk, soul-drenched rhythms, to straight up club-ready pop energy. Including the hits, ‘Tell Her’, ‘What If’ and title track ‘Nice To Meet Me’, the album explores the chaotic, bewildering and often euphoric narrative of Mia meeting her true self for the first time – the heart-breaking dissolution of a long-term relationship, coming to terms with being queer, and ultimately, whole-heartedly embracing and celebrating that self.

hi, it’s nice to meet me is an uplifting, empowering and relatable listen, delivered with a sense of fun, but a sense of relief as Mia arrives at a place of pure comfort within herself as an artist, and as a human; a true album for the ages.
