Award-winning Australian artist Meg Washington has today announced that her highly anticipated fifth studio album titled “GEM” will be released on Friday, August 8 through Meg’s label Batflower Records via ORiGiN Recordings. You can pre-order now Here! In addition, the second single to be lifted from the album has just dropped, titled “Kidding”, which follows the first album teaser “Shangri-La”.
“Kidding” was co-written with Ben Edgar (Dope Lemon, Matt Corby, Angus & Julia Stone) and mastered by Lachlan Carrick (King Gizzard, Doja Cat, Paul Kelly). It arrives with an accompanying powerful video filmed on Minjerribah in Queensland which is a must watch Here!
Meg openly shares about the track, “Kidding is about deciding to reframe your own story. It’s about letting go of a common ideal and creating your own context, the masterful feeling of being yourself on purpose. It’s the first song I’ve ever written with stuttering in the lyrics.”
On the upcoming new album Meg says, “This album is a message in a bottle; a record detailing the years I spent alone on a deserted tropical island. Or was that a dream? It’s about finding something very precious within yourself and refusing to give it up. Insisting on art. Insisting on beauty. I’ve called it ‘GEM’, which is my name in reverse.”
In celebration Meg has announced an extensive East Coast Australian tour which includes 17 x Live show dates starting on July 4 through to August 30. Dates and Tickets available now Here!

Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
