Review: Georgie Sweet - I Swear To You (First Word Records)

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!

Review: Georgie Sweet - Smaller / All That We Were (First Word Records)

Georgie Sweet's debut on First Word Records is the single 'Smaller' / 'All That We Were' and although there are retrospective elements in the lyrics, there's more than future indications that all that they are will be growing bigger.

Whether that'll be bigger in terms of recognition, financial success, self-or any other yard stick that we tend to beat ourselves up with but I know that with the aid of Marc 'Heat' Rapson (who has supported her since day one with her debut album on Futuristica Music along with DJ Simon S, Deborah Jordan and K15!)

I know the Futuristica Music team are excited that Georgie's singing and songwriting has developed and they'll be many more stories to share; where's the 'Gerry Hectic 7 Extension Edit' of 'Stories' I hear you say?

The last time I saw Georgie in Bournemouth was just before she was off to London to check out some opportunites - it seems to be working out fine as she’s previously supplied vocals to 'Balance', the title track of the highly-acclaimed sophomore album by Children of Zeus, along with Akemi Fox. 

Watch 'Smaller' grow, that's all I'm saying.

P.S. the video is great!
