Georgie Sweet's debut album on First Word Records is out now after her date with Gilles Peterson on he's Worldwide FM show, 'I Swear To You', who could resist that album cover?
Following the singles 'The Ones We Loved' / 'Bedsheets' (see review HERE) and 'Smaller' / 'All That We Were' (see review HERE), Georgie’s sophomore album 'I Swear To You' is here.
Not only do the singles show off how she maturing as a singer/songwriter, all of the 12 tracks on the album show a move from R&B hip-hop golden era Jill Scott/Erykah Badu et al (as in 'Equal Measure') to her own style with Marc Rapson's musical expertise and production.
'Energy', the 60s beach/folk of 'Maybe In A Different Life', the sentimental 'Patricia' (with Arthur Russell deep strings), the style of 'All That We Were' and the awesome gospel style of 'In My Stride'.
I swear this is going to make these guys stars in this life and they're going to get attention from near (what about label mate Amanda Whiting joining in?) and far.
And it's not only Gilles Peterson that's on board as the BBCs Jamie Cullum and Lauren Laverne are playing this plus Gilles' Dingwalls best mate Patrick Forge on his NTS show. Not only that, she will be live in London at The Jazz Cafe, Soho, London on June 12th as a guest of Mahalia Presents...
P.S. Don't forget the debut album, 'Misunderstood', which also features Marc 'Heat' Rapson that was released on Futuristica Music with collaborations with DJ Simon S, Deborah Jordan and K15!
