GEORGIA
Clwb Ifor Bach, Cardiff
Tue 3 Mar
Aptly titled Seeking Thrills, the new album from electro-pop musician Georgia is an exploration of the exhilaration and effervescence of those hair-raising experiences that we’re all familiar with, promising to leave the listener pining for more.
The producer and singer grew up in London and is the daughter of Neil Barnes, one half of 90s electronic group Leftfield. Surrounded by her father’s record collection, Georgia began her career as a drummer for Kwes and Kate Tempest among others, and in 2015 released a self-titled debut album that earned comparisons to Missy Elliott and MIA. Seeking Thrills coveys more sincerity and self-assurance than her earlier work: it’s already placed Georgia on the BBC’s Sound Of 2020 list as well as stacking up a number of rave reviews.
Following an electrifying performance on The Park Stage at Glastonbury last year, Georgia went on to win the Association of Independent Music’s One to Watch award in September 2019 – and is living up to expectations so far. Embarking on a UK and Europe tour early in 2020, Georgia will also be appearing at one of Germany’s largest festivals, Hurricane, in June.
