Today, rising star MEEK returns to the music scene with her enchanting second single, “Beautiful Freeks,” set to release via BMG. Accompanying the single is a visually stunning official music video directed by the legendary Sophie Muller, known for her collaborations with icons like Sade, Annie Lennox, and Beyoncé. Muller, also behind the visually striking debut video for MEEK’s breakout hit “Fabulous,” continues to elevate the narrative tone of MEEK’s artistry.
The video for “Beautiful Freeks” is a feverish dreamscape bursting with glitter, gore, and theatrical extravagance, all encapsulated within a hilariously over-the-top high-camp amateur theatre production. Drenched in Broadway-ready costumes, feathers, lingerie, and old-fashioned curlers, MEEK transforms from an outcast into the leading lady of her own surreal celebration—a vibrant testament to chaos, performance, and self-expression.
Since her vibrant launch with the anthem “Fabulous” in January, MEEK has quickly emerged as one of the most exciting newcomers of 2026, establishing herself as an international queer icon. With her devoted fanbase, affectionately dubbed the “Freeks,” MEEK’s star has been ascending rapidly. She has graced platforms such as The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in the U.S. and Saturday Night Live in the UK, alongside a sold-out headline show at London’s The Garage. Her debut single, “Fabulous,” has resonated with audiences, spending multiple weeks on the A-list of Capital and amassing an impressive 18 million streams; her EP has already hit 20.6 million streams.

It stands as both a rallying cry and a rebellion against conformity, seamlessly blending grunge-infused pop-punk with grand, multifaceted hooks. MEEK showcases her talent for transforming vulnerability into empowerment, inviting fans to embrace their uniqueness.
About the track, MEEK shares, “This is my homage to all the beautiful freeks who don’t fit in and follow their own beat. Long live individuality.”
Looking ahead, this summer promises an array of stellar performances for MEEK, including appearances at Capital’s Summertime Ball, London Pride, and several international Pride festivals. Following this extravaganza, she will support Kesha on her upcoming U.S. shows, and in the fall, MEEK will return to Europe for her first UK headline tour, commencing in Glasgow and culminating at London’s Electric Brixton.
