Even though the fictional Shangri-La is technically in the Himalayas somewhere, Meg Washington takes us to a subtropical island off Australia’s east coast for her version of “Shangri-La”. It’s the first single from her upcoming fifth studio album – and the song indeed has a tropical sizzle. In the video for the song, Meg and two lithe dancers take the heat up a notch on the fabulous bridge.
Washington is an icon in Australia, having won three prestigious ARIA awards. The new single was co-written by producer Ben Edgar (Dope Lemon, Matt Corby).
Meg says, “‘Shangri-La’ is an ode to horniness. It’s about being hungry for and open to life and about enjoying pleasure as much as possible. It’s about ignoring the machine and going deeper into the present moment to remember that we are all part of nature, and that nature is horny AF.”
If you’re a fan of Bryan Ferry’s sensuous songs, “Shangri-La” is the female version – rhythmic and intoxicating.
