Summary

  • Six songs labeled as a new release appeared on Bridgit Mendler’s Spotify and Apple Music pages, but Mendler said on X that “the spotify release wasn’t me.”
  • The EP, titled “Once Again...,” included “Flowers,” “Cold,” “Mercy,” “Long Run,” “Loyalties” and “Oxygen,” and was still accessible Wednesday evening.
  • The apparent release briefly suggested a music comeback for Mendler, whose last album arrived in 2012 and whose most recent single, “Driving,” came out in 2017.
  • Mendler has largely left entertainment for academics and tech, co-founding satellite communications startup Northwood Space in 2023 and serving as its CEO.
