#29 | GEORGIA | Seeking Thrills
Domino | Store

According to Matthew Hocter: “Although Seeking Thrills is Georgia’s sophomore album, there is a freshness and originality that can only be manifested from pure passion. Songs like ‘24 Hours,’ ‘I Can’t Wait,’ ‘Ultimate Sailor,’ and ‘The Thrill’ reinforce this creative freedom that essentially culminates in pure pop music that is unabashedly authentic. Georgia’s uniqueness in a sea of oversaturated, highly manufactured artists is not only refreshing, but so desperately needed. Nostalgia nearly got the better of me before discovering Georgia’s music. Now, knowing that she is one of the new generation of pop innovators, fear and frustration are two words I no longer associate with the pop stratosphere. In fact, excited, bright and incredibly curious are what I see over the horizon. Seeking Thrills? Look no further.”
