While singer-songwriter-dancer-actress-stunt performer (the list goes on and on) Mercy has been overseas for most of 2022 and kicking off 2023, she has been putting the action into the phrase Lights Camera Action behind the scenes.
Mercy has four new songs in production, with all four scheduled to be released this summer. As well as her recently released hot new single Broke Bad, which explores the idea of stepping in one’s villain era.
“Passion, introspection, villainy, with maybe even a hint of revenge. These are all themes you’ll see in her upcoming songs, including the two new music videos we’re working on now,” Mercy said in a recent interview. “The ideas have been coming nearly non-stop since White Party Palm Springs last year, which ignited a desire to explore myself in a new light.”
White Party Palm Springs 2022 was Mercy’s debut in the United States. She also brought the house down in Europe at the Ibiza Pride event, and White Party Puerto Vallarta in Mexico.
“Palm Springs was a blast,” she said. “Soaked! parties, go-go boys, superheroes, and a Big Top finale. It was amazing. I left the event physically exhilarated and mentally charged, inspiring brand-new ideas. It’s going to be exciting to be part of Ibiza Pride again this year and I predict another great show and another great creative push as a result.”
She is pushing hard toward June and the week-long Ibiza Pride event in Spain.
“I’m honored,” she said. “Ibiza Pride is about tolerance and acceptance and celebrating the differences in one another. I’ve been being different almost my whole life. To be part of this monumental. I don’t know what to call it. It’s more than an event. It is more than a gathering. It is more than a movement. Whatever it is, whatever the right word is, I’m honored to be a part of it.”
” What we have planned is going to knock your socks off, in more ways than one.”
While the set list has yet to be finalized, Mercy is preparing to include at least seven songs, backed by some of the hottest dancers from Los Angeles – dancers who have shared the stage with Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez, Brittany Spears, Taylor Swift, and more – all aligned with the oversight of an award-winning choreographer.
As if planning the set list and stage show for Ibiza Pride wasn’t enough – it’s just eight weeks away – the past several months has seen Mercy casting a wide thematic net as she pushes on in the recording studio. Her new song projects include Broke Bad(released April 7), a revenge-inspired dance anthem; Be The Party, a high-energy summer spectacular; Fucked Up With You, a melodic ballad with EDM overtones; Cry, a sultry look at the villainous side of life; Liar Liar, an infusion of rock and EDM; andEchoes, an introspective dramatic exploration of living life.
“It’s never a dull moment,” Mercy said. “For me, this is all about exploration. I want to surprise people, even those who think they know me well. I want to show the world all different sides of me.”
Fans are eagerly awaiting to see her in her next two cameo appearances in the upcoming DC Comics Blue Beetle, to be released this August and another feature film that will be released in September, but fans will have to keep guessing until she’s ready to unveil.
“I’m so honored and thankful for being part of those films,” Mercy said. “If you look back on the things I have done previously, there are some hints and clues as to where those projects might be leading me, but I think I need to be a little cryptic for now.”
She’s been busy around the globe as the locations for the films include Italy, Puerto Rico, and Atlanta, Georgia.
She is being less cryptic about her return to Ibiza Pride this year, announcing a 30-minute set scheduled for the annual event. Mercy is moving up in the lineup this year, with a leap the Ibiza Port main stage.
Last year’s stage presence was the result of Mercy’s lifetime of singing, circus acrobatics, burlesque performing, and professional stunt action. This year’s performance will build on everything she has done to date, with numerous international appearances under her belt.
The June 17 performance will spill over into a club appearance later the same night.
“With everything that’s been going on, honestly, I couldn’t be more excited!”
