New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Perth's Georgi Kay is a musical chameleon. You may know her dark and brooding song 'Ipswich'. You may know her from past tours with Alpine, Clubfeet and Ed Sheeran. How about her performance as troubled musician Melissa in Jane Campion's multi award-winning BBC drama 'Top of the Lake'? Or maybe you've heard her haunting theme for the Netflix series 'Residue'? Or perhaps you know her from her collaborations with French-noir DJ Brodinski, rapper Bloody Jay or her co-writes with M-Phazes, Mag and Nash Overstreet? Oh, and there's 'In My Mind' - the platinum-selling, ARIA-winning, Grammy-nominated dancefloor anthem recorded with Ivan Gough/Feenixpawl, remixed by Swedish House Mafia's Axwell.
Whichever version of Georgi Kay brought you to this point, her new EP ORIGINS, due for release in early 2016 brings the strands of her past together, showing a mature artist with a strong commitment to songwriting and a strong sense of her own muse. With her unique and distinctive voice and sound - part Sia, part
Massive Attack, part
Lorde - Georgi Kay is creating some of the most interesting and intelligent pop music in Australia.
The first taste of her EP comes in the form of 'God of a Girl'. The inspiration for the song came from the film adaptation of Stephen King's 'Carrie', exploring reality and fantasy within the psyche of an abuse victim and the mental results of being pushed to breaking point.
"I was fascinated by the idea of her innocence and vulnerability transforming and physically manifesting into supernatural powers of chaos and destruction - a symbolism of the pain, fear and anger she felt as a victim of abuse and mistreatment."
Released globally on MONOKI through Parlophone Records, the track is available for free download for fans from Georgi's website www.georgikay.com
"I've been working hard, experimenting and collaborating with some talented people who have helped influence and inspire me to create a body of work that best represents me as an artist. I can't wait to hear what everyone thinks of the EP," said Georgi. "It's also really important for me to share 'God of A Girl' - a song that represents me in my purest form, with all the fans and supporters who have been with me on my journey over the past few years. It's the shape of things to come."
