    Meg Smith has been one of the music industry’s best kept secrets for the last few years. After hearing her EP “All the Things You Ruined”, I knew she had the “IT” factor. The rising LA-based singer-songwriter has been crafting infectious pop records that are carried by vulnerable lyricism and captivating hooks. She’s in your face, relatable, and she has a knack for making songs that’ll make you feel free and heard. What stands out to me is her attention to detail, and I love the sound she is currently making. Her recent music feels like it was meant for a 2000s Rom-Com due to the bigger than life choruses and nostalgic touches. Coming into 2023, Smith has been on a hot streak, and she continues it with her latest single “Emotional Punching Bag”.

The single is about fighting back for your inner peace and personal freedom. Over the warm sonics and lush melodies, Meg discusses her change in mindset over a past relationship. Meg stated, “I let this person talk down to me, patronize me, and take their feelings out on me. All of a sudden, I decided I wasn't going to stand by and let it happen. I wasn't going to be their emotional punching bag”.

“Emotional Punching Bag” is when you decide to start punching back after someone is talking you down and disrespecting you. Overall, the record is an electric single that deserves to be played at the loudest volume. The single is fun, and Smith’s vocals are a gift from heaven. She is the pop princess that we all need!
