Trust (Georgia Lines) (LP 3975)

Georgia Lines  The Rose of Jericho (Vinyl, Nahla & Nala Records, 2024) ****  

GenreNZ Music, pop 

Places I remember: JB Hi Fi

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Start of the Middle

Gear costume: Trust

They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1Part 2Part 3Part 4Part 5Part 6

Active compensatory factors: I picked this up in the JB Hi Fi sale bin, not knowing much about her or the album. The cover picture snagged me - hook, line, and sinker!

Turns out she's a fellow Kiwi, this is her debut, and it went to #1 in Nu Zild. It's also won tons of awards.

That just goes to show how out of touch I am with the modern pop world. Was a time when I would have known all that stuff.

The music is bright sheen pop. I was tempted to draw comparisons with Suzanne but that's not quite right, as Georgia co-writes each song. Still - both are poptastic NZ vocalists.

Here's what one gushy reviewer had to say: It’s an immersive experience; sonically creating a unique sense of both old and new, through moments of whimsical strings and soaring melodies, piano ballads and sparkling synths, stacked harmonies and hook-laden choruses. At the centre of it all is Georgia’s flawless vocals; skillfully intertwining raw and honest storytelling, drawn from her own life experiences.

I wouldn't go that far, but it's growing on me, and man - I LOVE that cover!!

Where do they all belong? A new talent.
