ARIA #1 artist Meg Mac is in her party era, her fourth studio album, It’s My Party, marks a vivid new chapter – one shaped by creative freedom, collaboration, and joy. Written and recorded between London and Los Angeles, the album reflects a shift away from rigid planning toward instinct, play, and openness. What began as a tightly controlled concept ultimately evolved into something far more expansive.
That release became central to the album’s emotional core. After years of intense self-pressure, Meg found a new creative rhythm by loosening control and embracing collaboration.
Produced by acclaimed UK producer Bullion (Carly Rae Jepsen, Ben Howard), It’s My Party is an eclectic alt-pop record that brings together contrasting worlds – sonically, geographically, and creatively.
The album features tracks that highlight Meg’s unmistakable vocal power while leaning into darker textures. Across the record, she continues to balance emotional honesty with irresistible melody, delivering some of her most open, joyful, and self-assured work to date.
Meg Mac plays The Northern on Thursday from 8pm.
