Overview
The album touches on trauma in her past that Meghan is finally ready to release, discuss, and heal from through her music. “Of course, I’m chasing success in my career, but more and more I am chasing fulfillment and fulfillment doesn’t just come from making money and winning awards and having success,” Patrick explains. “I have had those things and it did not fulfill me in the way I thought it would.” She now coins the term, Big Sister Country as a way of sharing advice through her impactful lyrics.
A multi-faceted musician from a tender age, her background includes co-founding an all-girl band at age 13, studying opera and jazz, fronting a 10-piece funk act that once opened for Aretha Franklin, and touring extensively as part of a bluegrass group. She names John Prine, Neil Young, and Waylon Jennings as a few of her musical inspirations.
There has never been a plan B, determined to foster a creative career and now as this new era of her music is released, she continues to evolve. Golden Child is a testament to her newfound love for herself and the journey, therapy, and self-reflection it took to get to this place. “I made this record exactly how I wanted to, I told exactly the story I wanted to tell, I told the truth and when you tell the truth, you have nothing to worry about.” This clean slate musically and emotionally has allowed her to release the most impactful songs of her career.
