Alice Merton Ready to Drop Mint

Singer-songwriter Alice Merton will release her first full-length album, titled Mint, on January 18th, 2019. Merton has issued a new single and video in advance of the LP called “Why So Serious.” The track follows Merton’s debut 2017 single, “No Roots,” which reached Number One at Alternative radio, and the more recent Top 15 hit “Lash Out.”

With “Why So Serious,” Merton says she wanted a change in tone, explaining, “I was a little upset that everyone would ask if the next song would be as successful as ‘No Roots.’ And then I thought, screw this! I’m happy, I have the time of my life, so: why so serious?”
