STARGAZING by Meg Theron

Having faced challenges with mental health most of her life, 20 year old upcoming artist Meg Theron is diving deeper, following her most recent release, ‘Self Care’. Expressing thoughts and feelings that once came along with contemplating life, Meg feels empowered giving listeners a look into part of her journey, with new single, ‘STARGAZING’.

With hip hop production, ‘STARGAZING’ is a fresh look at the young artist. Featuring vulnerable lyricism and an intimate, spoken second verse, you can’t help but feel the weight behind the personal track.

Featured Track and Artists:
KORA – Weekend (DJ Spell Remix)

Kora are stoked to have had DJ Spell remix their recent single Weekend (from their upcoming yet to be announced EP), which is out today. It’s a smooth rework of the original with classic 90s beats and upbeat piano, that’s been described as ‘the working class boogie.’ It’s perfect for listeners who are ‘sick of that 9-5,’ and an essential jam as Summer comes to a close.
