Even though the fictional Shangri-La is technically in the Himalayas somewhere, Meg Washington takes us to a subtropical island off Australiaโs east coast for her version of โShangri-Laโ. Itโs the first single from her upcoming fifth studio album โ 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, โโShangri-Laโ is an ode to horniness. Itโs about being hungry for and open to life and about enjoying pleasure as much as possible. Itโs 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.โ
If youโre a fan of Bryan Ferryโs sensuous songs, โShangri-Laโ is the female version โ rhythmic and intoxicating.
