Meg Stalter Unveils "Gay" Single Ahead of Pride Month as Music Career Accelerates

Meg Stalter is rapidly establishing herself as a force in pop music. The 35-year-old "Hacks" actress and comedian dropped a fresh track titled "Gay" on Tuesday, June 2, capitalizing on the timing of Pride Month. The release marks her second offering from the upcoming studio album Crave, which arrives later this summer.

The new single showcases an eclectic approach to pop sensibilities. Described as anthemic and playful while maintaining sharp comedic sensibilities, "Gay" blends humor with genuine musicality in a format that leans slightly chaotic.

Stalter's forthcoming album Crave takes an unconventional approach to its themes. The project dives into questions of identity, desire, and self-perception through a distinctly offbeat perspective. Drawing from early 2000s pop influences, the album embraces contradiction—simultaneously playful and biting, polished yet chaotic. Stalter positions herself as an unexpected newcomer to the music landscape, with a philosophy that pop should deliver both sonic satisfaction and a touch of unhinged energy.

Her debut single and its remix featuring Vanillamace have already amassed significant traction. The tracks have accumulated nearly a million streams within a month, while the sound has been used in over 4 million TikTok videos.

Stalter co-wrote every track on Crave with Jesse Thomas, handling production duties alongside Thomas and Matias Mora. She's set to perform at the 2026 WeHo Pride Street Fair in June and will also appear at New York's All Things Go Festival in September.
