georgia, georgia - 'comphet'
Singer-songwriter Giorgia piva - aka georgia, georgia enchants us further with new single ‘comphet’.
Passionate about music since childhood, as a self-taught artist she’s understood growing up that writing represents the most powerful means to tell her experiences and translate emotions into something liberating. The new track feels subtle but yet euphoric all at the same time. Powerful but simple vocal performance to create a warm listening experience.
The moniker 'georgia, georgia' is a clear homage to Phoebe Bridgers, a fundamental artist for Giorgia. She also draws inspiration from international sounds, along with other names of the new indie/alternative scene, such as boygenius, Clairo, The 1975 but also from The Strokes and early Fleetwood Mac.
Speaking about it, she explained: “Long hair, nail polish, musician, feminist, … my list of criteria was long and he met them all. He was perfect on paper, but still something felt wrong. What if I was the problem? I questioned my sexuality, I was confused about my feelings, maybe I wasn’t really interested, maybe I was scared, or I just wanted to feel desired, maybe I was just lying to myself and didn’t actually like men. I heard about compulsory heterosexuality and read the Lesbian Masterdoc: ‘comphet’ came from this overthinking. Who knows, maybe he just wasn’t good in bed.”
“You’ll never be alone again”, sings Mancunian’s finest wordsmith Antony Szmierek, and it’s hard to argue with him after a joyous night filled with dancing in a sold-out Kentish Town Forum to his garage beats and spoken-word. Nobody felt alone that night, that’s for sure.
