Having just wrapped up a national sold out tour with a remarkable closing night at Sydney’s iconic Opera House, Meg Mac today announces the release of her first studio album in three years, ‘Matter Of Time’, set for release on September 16 and available to pre-order here now.

Having recorded and primed a previous ‘third album’ for imminent release in 2020, Mac had what she now describes as “a bit of a meltdown” with personal and professional doubts coming to a head. She scrapped the body of work two weeks before launch and moved to the remote village of Burrawang in the NSW southern highlands. “I wanted to just start again and do everything without compromise,” says Meg Mac of the game-changing personal switch-up that led to the Sydney-born singer’s incoming third album. ‘Matter of Time’ is “how I’ve always wanted to do an album” she affirms, “…knowing when it’s not right, and having the confidence to say so and to take it in a different direction. Now for the first time, I really feel in control.”

Meg launches the news of her highly anticipated third album with spellbinding new single ‘Letter’, a gorgeous melodic pop offering showcasing her beautiful vocals atop a pensive piano led arrangement, produced by Dylan Nash (Dean Lewis). Building to a swelling chorus, the track serves as a wondrous testament to the soul-stirring talents that have seen Meg Mac develop a passionate fan base over the better part of the last decade.

‘Matter of Time’ came into being across 2020 and 2021 and is a document of an artistic rebirth of sorts, fleshed out by her most fully-realised sonic and visual palette yet. From the lead single ‘Is It Worth Being Sad’, the first track written from the countryside as lockdown hit, to re-imagined gems from the ‘unreleased’ album ‘Something In The Water’ and ‘Don’t You Cry’, to selectively seeking songwriting collaborators PJ Harding (Noah Cyrus) for several songs on the album, and Jesse Shatkin (Sia) to bring additional magic to the likes of ‘Understand’ – Meg took time to realise her newly found control and purpose.

Enlisting production duo The Donuts (Kendrick Lamar) to capture Meg’s stunning and versatile vocals and push them to the fore in a range of ways; you can hear their synergy across the record, from the woozy, unlikely jam of singles ‘On Your Mind’, the breeziness of ‘Only Love’, and the intimacy of forthcoming songs like ‘Something In The Water’ or ‘Lifesaver’.

2022 has marked a mesmerising return to form from Meg Mac. In retreating to the stillness of rural NSW, Meg Mac has created some of her most searingly personal music to date. The past months have seen her release well received offerings in the album’s first three singles and gaining acclaim from areas such as NME, Russh, Rolling Stone, CLASH, Wonderland, House Of Solo and more in the process. Her return to the stage was celebrated by her audience, selling out her national tour in the process. The tour ended in a triumphant closing night as part of this year’s Vivid Festival at the Sydney Opera House. Mac’s shows were described as “A badass masterclass in flexing God-given talent. Meg is professionalism defined”.

Meg Mac has created a body of work rich in searing honesty. ‘Matter Of Time’ is the next chapter from an artist who continues to carve a niche for herself.
