Georgie is a singer \/ songwriter currently based in Brighton, with a uniquely smooth, soulful vocal tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhilst working on her debut record ('\u003ci\u003eMisunderstood\u003c\/i\u003e'), Georgie began a songwriting partnership with multi-instrumentalist Marc Rapson , who is on the boards throughout this project. The duo discovered a natural musical connection instantly, and began working on an abundance of beautiful new material shortly after the release of the first album; writing and creating at Rapson's home in Hertfordshire at various sessions from 2021 onwards, culminating in this new 12-track album, \u003ci\u003eI Swear To You\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a hugely diverse set of inspirations ranging from Stevie Wonder to Michael McDonald, Hiatus Kaiyote to Chappell Roan, Mac Miller to Sampha, and George Duke to EW\u0026amp;F, Georgie's respect, love and admiration for a wide range of music is clear; from jazz to soul to pop to hip hop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHer own sound sits within the realm of glo-fi alternative r\u0026amp;b. From powerful piano-led ballads, to head-nod boom bap backdrops, this album exemplifies Georgie's eclectic influences and unique talents as a writer and a vocalist, which are growing exponentially. A tapestry of sound that developed whilst Sweet and Rapson moved from the beat-driven vibes of Georgie's earlier work, to finding themselves gravitating more and more to the simplicity of the piano and the voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's this shift in styles that encapsulates the sonic and spiritual feel of the entire project, born out of a warm, creative environment, and full to the brim with heart and soul.\u003cem\u003eI Swear To You\u003c\/em\u003e is a deeply personal reflection on youth, grief and self-acceptance. An homage to childhood, and the transition into adulthood, exploring the range of experiences and emotions that come with that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album cover mirrors the essence of the record; a photo of a hopeful, younger version of Georgie, filled with optimism and joy. Despite the emotional highs and lows expressed throughout the songs, the overarching message remains one of hope; encouraging listeners to keep looking toward the future, to never give up, and to hold onto that youthful sense of possibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the ethereal acapella opening of '\u003ci\u003eThe Ones We Loved\u003c\/i\u003e', through to the irresistible jazz-hop bounce of tracks like \u003ci\u003e'As I Am', 'Smaller' \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e 'In My Stride'\u003c\/i\u003e, to the midtempo soulful bop of '\u003ci\u003eEqual Measure\u003c\/i\u003e' and previously-released '\u003ci\u003eEnergy\u003c\/i\u003e', to epic ballads like '\u003ci\u003eBedsheets\u003c\/i\u003e' and first single '\u003ci\u003eAll That We Were\u003c\/i\u003e', to the more melancholy tones of '\u003ci\u003ePatricia\u003c\/i\u003e' and '\u003ci\u003eMaybe in a Different Life\u003c\/i\u003e', to the almost-gospel flavoured closing title track, this is a truly accomplished and timeless piece of work from edge to edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"First World Records","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":52241127440715,"sku":"R9095-7922","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/cover.ki_13289359-5092-4821-b214-c0db322dd82d.jpg?v=1749992649"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/collections\/first-world-records.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
