Almost three years since her last studio album 'Hope', Australian singer-songwriter Meg Mac returns with the stunningly beautiful, starkly emotive alternative pop banger 'Is It Worth Being Sad?'.
Working with a new Creative Director, Dilly Gent (previously Radiohead's CD for 16 years and Phoebe Bridgers collaborator), Meg once more showcases her own artistic vulnerability exploring her own immediate past on 'Is It Worth Being Sad?'."I had just run away to the country," she recalls. "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."
Produced by electrifying duo The Donuts (Kendrick Lamar, H.E.R.), the singer explored a new method to the creative process.
"I recorded myself singing the chords into the loop pedal," Meg says.
"Once I had that going, I started humming over the top, trying to find a melody that I liked. As soon as I found the first line, I kept going with that mood."
