Audrey Meigel drops rock-edged single as dance project takes shape

Audrey Meigel is releasing “Here for a While” on Oct. 2 as she builds toward a new dance-driven project developed after auditions and choreography work in Naples, Florida. The single marks a new chapter for the singer-songwriter, who says it is her first release with a rock edge.

Why it matters: - Audrey Meigel is using a new single to signal a shift in her sound. - The release also sets up a larger performance project that could expand her live presence beyond recorded music. - The single will be available on major streaming platforms beginning Oct. 2.

What happened: - Audrey Meigel released “Here for a While” on Friday, Oct. 2. - Meigel wrote the song with Danny Jacobson. - Eric T. Johnson of N.I.
