At the end of last year Chippenham singer-songwriter M3G released the single Rooks. I felt it set her bar at a whole new higher level. I’m glad to report the follow up single, De-Anchored, is equally angelic, and was released today…..
It might not raise the bar much from Rooks, but it maintains the same direction of excellence. Such is the unique and original direction of this drifting metaphoric shanty, Meg was delighted to hear it played on BBC Introducing in the West last evening, and we are equally thrilled for her! Thank you kindly, Mr Threlfall, they broke the mould when they made Meg.
For in this crazy world of fired up, laden rock n roll and floor rumbling dubstep, sometimes you need a timeout, a breeze of ambient goodness, and M3G’s acoustic take on melancholy is so beautifully presented with all-M3G loop vocals and sublimely unique expression. And arranged by Phil Cooper too, who knows the composition of a beautiful song like the back of his hand.

This time De-Anchored takes a shanty feeling, metaphorically a loose anchor can’t save a sinking ship, relative to a relationship breakdown and the character’s empathy and sense of loss. It drifts, lost at sea, another delicate impression guaranteed to impress!
De-Anchored is out now, across all major streaming platforms.
