If you’re wondering why you haven’t heard from Meg Mac in a while, it’s because the triple j favourite with the incredible pipes has been busy working on her debut album.
Luckily, the Sydney singer, who first caught our attention with her incredible cover of ‘Grandma’s Hands’, has confirmed her long-awaited debut full-length is finally complete.
“I have finished my album and I’ll put out the first song in the new year,” she wrote on Facebook. “Here is something I just recorded at home, it has nothing to do with my album but I did it anyway.”
To keep us sated for the time being, Mac has shared a cover of ‘If You Want Me to Stay’, originally by funk/soul legends Sly and the Family Stone from their timeless 1973 album Fresh.
Details about the album are scant, but Mac did tell Baeble that some of the songs on the album are among the first she’d ever written.
“They’re kind of all my first songs and some of them were written around the time I’ve been doing everything I’ve been doing with music,” she said.
Mac also told the Sydney Morning Herald that the album will build on her EP but is “more me”. “I feel more confident as a singer and [I’m] not really afraid to say how I feel,” she said.
