Influenced by artists like Solange, Tame Impala, Blondie, Erykah Badu and Frank Ocean, meadowhip fuses introspective, impatient and irreverent lyrics with pop melodies and elements of psychedelic soul, alt-R&B and jazz.
meadowhip is an exploration of self and society from Cara’s perspective. As she puts it, “I’m here to discuss the big three – capitalism, patriarchy, and myself.”

The first single from meadowhip is Unexceptional – a light-hearted eye-roll at your average, oblivious white dude, this song is an homage to 90s R&B with an Australian indie attitude. Sarcastic lyrics and pop hooks are soaked in wonky keys, jangly guitars, layered 70s drum breaks and modern R&B textures. (You know that guy at the office with a swagger and questionable competence? Unexceptional is like Mac DeMarco and Gwen Stefani got together and wrote a song about him.). Co-written and produced by Chelsea Warner, and mixed by Michael Freeman (Half Past Nine by Carla Wehbe, I (Motsi) by Shungudzo, Heavy Part. 1 by Cxloe).
