“the hunt for the next Adele — rooted in soul with just enough contemporary production — has helped songwriters like Meg Mac of Australia, who’s fond of minor keys and brooding thoughts….”– New York Times

“An Australian singer-songwriter whose soulful, soaring piano ballads are at the forefront of pop’s gospel revival.” – Buzzfeed (#1 of 41 SXSW 2015 Artists You Need In Your Life)

“…[‘Roll Up Your Sleeves’] would be my early answer to the question, ‘What should be the Song of the Summer?’” – Flavorwire (The 5 Best Songs We Heard This Week)

Meg Mac - Australia’s most buzzworthy breakout artist of 2014, and the latest signing to Lyor Cohen’s 300 Entertainment – stunned audiences with her U.S. debut last week at SXSW. Starting this week, Meg is hitting the road with Clean Bandit to celebrate the release of her singular debut EP entitled MEG MAC, which is out TODAY.

The 24 year-old singer-songwriter Meg Mac has already won Triple J’s Unearthed Artist of 2014, is a current cover star for InStyle Australia, was named one of Marie Claire Australia’s Artists To Watch in 2015, and sold out her entire tour throughout Australia this past Fall. Now, she has her sights set on the U.S., and this tour and EP release will firmly solidify her as a force to be reckoned with - not just in the Australian music scene, but as an international star on the rise.

Inspired by her childhood aural education in Detroit soul-pop and gritty Memphis blues, Meg Mac creates elusive and dark pop with innovative sonic twists and turns that merge multiple genres and defy expectations. Full of powerhouse vocals and evocative personal narratives, MEG MAC is a gorgeous compilation of undeniably catchy and sultry pop songs with a neo-soul tinge.
