Rising north London vocalist Mega talks new single “Let You Down,” overcoming vocal issues and the greatness of Lauryn Hill.
Mega is the rising vocalist mixing with the world’s biggest stars. Landing support slots for Hozier and Self Esteem this year, the north London-raised artist has nurtured a natural stage presence that will propel her to similar heights as the aforementioned musicians. Next month, she’ll embark on a nine-date UK and EU tour, showing off her performance prowess and a wealth of new material coming out later this year.
“Let You Down” is our latest taste from Mega’s highly anticipated new project, ‘Honour and Glory’. The singer-songwriter’s uplifting vocal tones glide across graceful beats and a tender melody, empowering its listeners with unguarded lyricism. Easing those moments of isolation, the track encourages us to have faith in our own voice and feel compassion for the world around us.
Raised in London as part of a family with Ugandan heritage, Mega is inherently inspired by African music. It’s the euphoria-effectuating properties that influence her the most, as she looks to free fans from their own worries. Before all this, the future star first found her voice in choir groups, meeting producers and life-long collaborators who helped cultivate her early sound.
As Mega gears up for her ‘Honour and Glory’ project and tour, here, she talks all things “Let You Down,” overcoming vocal problems and the greatness of Lauryn Hill.
