Based in Brooklyn but hailing from Makaha, Hawaii, Meghann Wright will soon release her debut full-length LP, Nothing Left to Lose, which will no doubt bring some additional heat to the summer months. As tunes like “Black Kiss” evince (stream the track below), Wright is adept at a brand of bluesy rock that’s confident in its strut and sultry in its disposition. As Bitch Magazine aptly puts it, Wright’s “got a point to make”, and when that point is made with boot-stompin’ rhythms and tasty, bluesy guitar solos, folks are no doubt bound to hear her out.
From 19 June through 8 August, Wright will join the lengthy lineup of 2015’s Warped Tour, where she will feature as an Acoustic Basement artist.
Wright tells PopMatters about the track, “The theme of the song is addiction of all kinds. My inspiration comes from a toxic relationship that was difficult to leave because it was steeped in codependency.”
Nothing Left to Lose is out on 30 June via BlackTop Records.
