Meg Washington Essentials
Playlist - 30 Songs
Intimacy and invention guide the chameleonic songbook of Meg Washington, the classically trained Brisbane musician who first graduated from jazz to alt-pop and has regularly tweaked both her sound and stage name in subsequent years. Her 2010 debut album I Believe You Liar showcased soaring, piano-led pop with a definite irreverent streak, earning her two ARIA Awards at that early stage.
Subsequent releases have spanned zippy jazz flourishes, bright pop confection, moving piano ballads, and busy electronics. Washington has also become a prolific collaborator, duetting with Paul Kelly and Kevin Morby while contributing songs (and the voice of the teacher Calypso) to Bluey. In most of those turns, her lyrics prove darker and more personal than those effervescent hooks first let on, inviting us to gradually peel back the layers as we listen.
