Singer-songwriter Meg Washington has announced a brand new album is on the horizon! The four-time ARIA Award winner will release her fifth studio album, GEM, on August 8 through Batflower Records via ORiGiN Recordings.

It comes after a three-year break since her last album, Hot Fuss. During that time, Washington wrote and produced the 2024 film How to Make Gravy and, in addition, starred as Calypso in the hit children’s series Bluey.

“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,” said Washington.
“Insisting on art. Insisting on beauty. I’ve called it GEM, which is my name in reverse”.
