''There There'' is the second studio album by Australian singer-songwriter Megan Washington, the first crediting her full name. It was released in Australia on 12 September 2014. The album peaked at #5 on the Australian ARIA charts. == Background == In August 2011, a year after the release of ''I Believe You Liar'', Washington uprooted to Brooklyn, following her dream to live in New York. “I was dreadfully unhappy there. But having said that, I would have been dreadfully unhappy wherever I was,” she says. “It was the result of a perfect storm of circumstances. I was just partying a lot and drinking a lot and going out and doing stuff. There was just no meaning. I couldn’t find meaning in anything I was doing.” As a result, Washington moved back to Australia. In early 2013, having spent much of the previous year in Australia mentoring on The Voice and filming The Boy Castaways, Washington decamped to London to work with Samuel Dixon. Washing said she had a clear vision for the record “My plan was to create this late-60s, early-70s, gold lame Shirley Bassey sound with trumpets and James Bond-y melodies,” she explains. The pair spent much of the first few months just listening to music, and after Dixon introduced her to the new-romantic sounds of his youth – Tears for Fears, Talk Talk and Roxy Music – the era’s OTT moodiness seemed like the natural canvas for her candid narratives. Dixon also stretched Washington lyrically, pushing her to write about her personal life. “It was a pretty intense period and she’d had such a rough 18 months leading up to it,” Dixon says. “But Meg could also laugh through the tears, and writing about it also helped her deal with things she’d swept under the carpet. What I think Meg’s saying on this album is: ‘This happened and it’s my fault.’ She’s putting her hand up and saying ‘I stuffed up’, which is really brave, I think.” 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「There There (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
