A vibrant indie gem that’ll leave you longing for more. 

Meagher continues to prove he’s a multi-dimensional artist with his latest release, “Shake”—an emotionally rich indie track that blends storytelling, sleek production, and raw vulnerability into something unforgettable.

Driven by a deep passion for his craft, Meagher describes his creative approach as cinematic and deeply personal: “I like writing stories, crafting the sounds and melodies that fit the picture in my head. I love connecting with people over music about the humbling journey of life.” For Meagher, music isn’t just a form of expression—it’s a bridge to shared experience. “Music adds color to life, and human connection is the meaning of life,” he adds.

“Shake,” his newest offering, follows previous releases like “Daydreams” and “Popular.” It opens with atmospheric textures and bright, groovy production, instantly pulling you into its intoxicating soundscape. The beat is immersive and rhythmically infectious, yet the lyrics dig deep into emotional complexity.

Lines like “Tell me you’re crazy for me still, or just say goodbye and make me ill” and “You’re just the pill I need to take, so just say goodbye and make me shake” speak to the chaos of love and heartbreak—where desire and detachment collide. It’s that contrast—between the melancholy and the danceable—that gives the song its powerful resonance.

Carried by Meagher’s soft, melodic vocals and evocative delivery, “Shake” balances groove and grief in a way that feels both cathartic and cool. It’s the kind of song that could soundtrack your late-night drive or your next existential dance break.

If you’re a fan of indie music that connects both emotionally and rhythmically, “Shake” is a must-listen. Meagher may be telling his own story—but it’s one many of us will feel deep in our bones.
