Mac, Meg - Meg Mac

23 year old Meg Mac is steadily accumulating critical acclaim for her style of elusive dark-pop – quite a feat for an artist who is about to release her first body of work. Her childhood sonic education in Detroit soul-pop and grittier Memphis sounds indicates where her love for big, dramatic vocals and personal narrative have stemmed from.

The groundswell of interest for this Melbourne song stress began with the release of her debut single 'Known Better', which was unearthed by triple j in 2013. The follow up came in the form of the dark, personal, punching 'Every Lie', which the singer de scribes herself as the response to her "first taste of feeling shit, a shock and an exciting discovery – my bitter sweet pop song". The song saw the young writer get heard above the noise, and snagged her the triple j Unearthed spot at Falls Festival in Lorne, as well as being named a 2014 Next Crop artist.

The most recent offering is 'Roll Up Your Sleeves', a letter from Meg Mac to Meg Mac, and a literal reminder that everything really is going to be alright. "I'm one of those people who hide away when I am sad so I had to sing it to myself so I remembered".

Fat piano chords, and her signature vocal that seems to cut straight through you, 'Roll Up Your Sleeves' is an exciting indication of the prolific songwriting which will be displayed on her debut EP, 'MEGMAC', which will be released on September 12 through littleBIGMANrecords and Inertia
