The club-informed electro-pop of UK’s Georgia
It’s hard to remember the last time I was this excited about a new artist. Georgia is an emerging songwriter/producer from London. Although she’s been making music for a few years now, her recent pair of singles—“Started Out” and “About Work the Dancefloor”—sparked my attention near the beginning of this year and I haven’t stopped listening.
These two songs sound incredibly fresh and upbeat—almost futuristically so—and make me feel ecstatic. Georgia’s combination of analog production equipment (including a drum machine and vintage synth) with ’80s flare create a thrilling environment for the listener. In “About Work the Dancefloor” especially, you can hear how feelings of love and vulnerability are captured effortlessly atop bright, pulsing synth-pop.
The multitude of textures and beats heard in Georgia’s songs may be reminiscent of an earlier era, but the way she pulls in references of club culture and post-punk and embeds them into her own style is very much current. I’m excited to see where Georgia’s music will go from here!
