GEoRGiA

“These digits are bridges so ring it, when you need it”. That’s a fairly point-blank sentiment for a time where schmaltzy emotional attachment is thrown upon a ‘seen’ Facebook message and #FuneralSelfie exists. It’s also the hook for GEoRGiA’s breakout tune, Digits. The no-bullshit snigger of London-based Georgia Barnes’s beatsmithery and lyricism makes for something that sounds just as assertive as it does lovesick. With a background as a session drummer, she puts together beats that knock and ties them together with candy floss chirping synth lines that flicker above. It’s her direct approach to songwriting and production that really set her apart from the rest. She’s unfriendly and gnarly but in a way that’s more playtime sparring than rap-game shot firing. The bold vocal snippets on Be Ache sound fraught but cemented. With her debut EP out now via Kaya Kaya, GEoRGiA is a force to be reckoned with.
