Meanjin (EP)

Meanjin is the third extended play by Australian singer-songwriter Thelma Plum, released on 12 August 2022 through Warner Music Australia.

[4] The EP's six songs were written after COVID forced Plum to leave London for Brisbane while in the middle of writing and recording her second full-length album.

"[4][5] Sonically, the EP is inspired by artists Plum was listening to throughout lockdown, including Phoebe Bridgers, as well as those she had loved for years like Shania Twain and Fleetwood Mac.

[8][9] Josh Leeson said "The '80s-inspired 'When It Rains It Pours' and 'Backseat of My Mind' are driven by gorgeous melodies and the off-kilter piano ballad 'Baby Blue Bicycle' showcases Plum's stunning vocal, as she tells the story of her childhood neighbour.

"[10] NME gave the EP a positive review, with Ellie Robinson writing: "Thelma Plum’s six-track ode to the city that shaped her is a compelling listen from start to finish, as the singer-songwriter weaves a rich and riveting tapestry of Meanjin – also known as Brisbane – with considered nods to her most formative experiences, the characters that drove them, and the local flora and fauna that coloured them.
