‘Fabulous’ singer MEEK drops new single ‘Expensive Taste’ ahead of tour
"The song doesn’t take itself too seriously, and neither do I," says MEEK

MEEK has released her brand new single, ‘Expensive Taste’, following the success of her hit track ‘Fabulous’, which propelled her onto the global stage.
The north London-born singer has had quite the year. Following her breakout single, MEEK released ‘Beautiful Freeks’ and has recently performed at Pride events across the country.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, MEEK said in a news release: “I wrote ‘Expensive Taste’ while I was splitting my time between my basement flat in Brixton and writing trips to LA.
“The song doesn’t take itself too seriously, and neither do I” – MEEK on her new single ‘Expensive Taste’
“I found the contrast really funny – living between two completely different worlds. The song doesn’t take itself too seriously, and neither do I.”
Her newest single encapsulates her essence. Speaking to Attitude earlier this year in an interview playing on her ‘Fabulous’ lyrics, she proved she is as grounded as she is hilarious.
‘Expensive Taste’ is described as a “tongue-in-cheek pop song”, encapsulated by the line: “I’m just a broke ass bitch with expensive taste.”
