Meg Mac has totally floored me with her gorgeous new single “Letter.” It’s a classic piano ballad that tells a powerful story about the things that are often left unsaid.
“Letter” is the latest track lifted from Meg’s third album, Matter of Time, which drops on September 16. Preorder the album now to get your hands on a gorgeous vinyl copy.

Meg Mac has just released a powerful, thought-provoking new single “Is It Worth Being Sad” that I know you’re going to love. Her music always gets me with its intimate, introspective lyrics and strong vocals. This track is no exception. Whatever you’re struggling to move past in your life, hopefully you can use this song as therapy as Meg did.
“I had just run away to the country,” she recalled of the time she wrote her new single. “I was running away from my troubles. I was living in peace and quiet finally and really thought I’d figured it all out, and it was all smooth sailing ahead. It was the start of sorting out my life. This song was like my first step—I didn’t know it then, though.”
I’m a big believer that the right song finds you when it’s supposed to. With so many of us feeling like 2022 will mark a new chapter, I’m sure this song will resonate with many of you.

Meg Mac has given us one more reason to get tickets for her upcoming shows, her brand new single “Something Tells Me.” It’s everything you want in a Meg Mac song, strength and vulnerability, killer vocals and those melodic hooks you just can’t get out of your head.
Meg is currently touring Europe, after recent dates in North America, so she’s bound to be in fine form once she finally touches down on home soil. Many Aussie shows are already sold out, so the remaining tickets won’t last long. If you manage to nab one, make sure you arrive early enough for the support act, Fergus James. Meg hand-picked Fergus, a triple j unearthed artist, as she felt the platform was so pivotal to her own career. Catch Meg Mac in Oz or abroad at the following shows.

If the singles she keeps releasing are any indication, Meg Mac’s forthcoming album Low Blows is going to be really something. The latest single is “Maybe It’s My First Time,” a soulful number with a charming vintage feel.
Meg recorded the track in Fort Worth, Texas at Niles City Sound, set up by the producers and players behind the music of Leon Bridges. Mixing at Electric Lady in New York completed this slick soul song.
“’Maybe it’s My First Time’ is about trying to get through a bad time. When you’re hurt, you can keep going over and over the pain in your head and drive yourself crazy,” Meg explained. “I wanted to stop all that and only look back once and be done with it. To cruise past my pain instead of living in it”.
Low Blows drops on July 14. Meg will tour the album, but tickets are selling fast so don’t delay if you want some!

It’s been some time since we heard anything new from Meg Mac, but I think it’s been worth the wait. Her new single “Low Blows” is an absolute cracker.
“Low Blows” tells an intimate story, as you might expect from a track that started its life on Meg’s piano in her Melbourne bedroom.
“The song is about the need to stand up for myself – I don’t speak up or stand up for myself when I really need to,” she explained. “Since releasing it I’ve received lots of messages suggesting I’m not the only one who struggles with this.”
While it had humble beginnings, Meg recorded the track at Fort Worth’s Niles City Sound Studio. It sounds amazing, which is a great sign for the rest of Meg’s forthcoming debut album.
After wowing crowds at Splendour, Meg Mac’s dropped her latest single “Never Be.” This track just oozes cool. I love the keys and of course Meg’s flawless vocals.
If you want to see Meg perform the song live, I suggest you get tickets for her spring single tour pronto. Some dates have already sold out, and the others won’t be too far behind! Meg’s also spending most of her time in the US these days, so it may be your last chance to see her live this year. Tickets are available from Meg’s website.
