In a time of light-hearted lyricism and surface-level exploration, it’s refreshing to hear someone singing with soul and depth about topics such as gender fluidity and domestic violence.
Yep, heavy stuff. But for 23-year-old singer-songwriter, Georgia Meek, it’s all in a day’s work – and there’s no such thing as shying away from painful topics and themes. If anything, it’s these experiences that beautifully enrich the North Londoner’s deeply powerful indie-pop ballads.
Meek’s piercing, hair-raising vocals (definite Ellie Goulding vibes here) fuel the pulsing tracks, with “Bare” remembering her time in a violent relationship, and “Swim”, exploring unbridled female desire. Her latest single “Right Kind of Wrong” – also taken off her forthcoming EP, “Womanhood” – covers self-worth in a haunting testimony to her vocal prowess.
