Jordan Power Shares Soul-Stirring New Single “Merican Dream”

Today, pop artist and multidisciplinary storyteller Jordan Power returns with his most intimate and haunting release yet: “Merican Dream,” available now on all major streaming platforms via Grey Smoke Records.

Following the critical success of “Mr. Slipstream,” which dissected the complexities of ambition and gender dynamics ​, Power shifts inward on “Merican Dream,” chronicling his emotional journey from Canada to the United States. Solely written by Jordan Power, the track delves into themes of loneliness, self-loathing, romantic disconnection, and the elusive promise of reinvention.

Opening with spoken-word affirmations, personal mantras Power uses to combat feelings of unworthiness, the song unfolds over lo-fi strings and heartbeat-like percussion. Its clean, ethereal soundscape contrasts with darker lyrical undertones, creating a sonic duality that mirrors the artist’s inner conflict.

"

I’ve felt misunderstood most of my life, whether it be platonically, romantically, or creatively,” says Power. “This song is about the disorientation of starting over, the desperation to be seen, and the realization that even love might not be enough to save you from yourself.”​Midway through, the track personifies America as a lover, seductive yet indifferent, blurring the lines between nation and relationship.

The bridge crescendos into a revelation: that Power’s mental health struggles may be too heavy for another to bear, underscoring the song’s raw vulnerability.​“Merican Dream” is the latest offering from Power’s forthcoming album Multiverse Pt. 2, a project born from a spiritual awakening in Bali in early 2024 . With this release, Power continues to carve out a unique space in indie-pop, blending personal narrative with broader cultural commentary.
