The thrill of losing yourself in the music or in the moment pretty much defined the narrative for Georgia’s club-coercing last record, the universally adored and critically acclaimed Seeking Thrills which well and truly cemented Georgia as one of the premier UK producer and songwriters in London. From her collaborations with Mura Masa, Gorillaz, Shygirl, Baby Tate, Dan Carey and David Jackson, to remixes including Jessie Ware, Metronomy, Declan McKenna and Dodie, endless days in the studio with Years and Years’ Olly Alexander and the Queen of Country, Shania Twain (Georgia worked on Twain’s recent #1 album), it’s safe to say there’s probably nothing Georgia can’t put her hand to.
Over the three years since its release, Seeking Thrills continued to grow in popularity, touching and healing people as they found acceptance on the dancefloor: from the BBCR1 playlists to the queer clubs in Berlin to stadium shows supporting Haim. However, for Georgia, what had begun as a powerful and personal message about sobriety and experiencing the club in its truest and most authentic form had lost it way. Her search for total escapism masked that something deeper was amiss: “I hit a point after Seeking Thrills, where for me escapism came to mean running away from a world that I was afraid of.” Nevertheless, out of this pain came inspiration, out of this inspiration came adventure, and out of this adventure came Georgia’s dynamite third studio album, Euphoric.
Georgia’s third record, Euphoric, will be released on July 28.
