There There is the second full-length album from Australian singer/songwriter Megan Washington. After the success of her debut album, I Believe You Liar, expectations for There There were very high, and she didn’t disappoint. Recorded in London, it features an impressive mix of catchy pop tunes and heartfelt ballads.
Producer Sam Dixon encouraged Washington to write about personal experiences, resulting in an honest album which will tug at your heartstrings. This emotion is particularly highlighted in Marry Me, a track in which Washington details her regret following a broken engagement.
Washington showcases her flair for infectious ‘80’s inspired pop with opener Yellow & Blue and second single Limitless. Despite the heartbreak etched in piano ballads, To Or Not Let Go and One For Sorrow, these tunes are favourites. Washington’s beautiful voice shines through on the standout track, Begin Again.
Megan Washington has matured artistically, and this is clearly evident on There There. The different styles on the album, combined with the honest nature of the lyrics, ensure that it’s a memorable one.
