Out now!! How Camp Cope’s Georgia Maq made Pleaser, her debut solo album 01) Away From Love 02) Driving Blind 03) Pleaser 04) Like I Do 05) Like A Shadow 06) Easy to Love 07) You’ll Be Singing My Name 08) Big Embarrassing Heart
For anyone that hasn't listened: it's pop music and not an extension of her pre-Camp Cope solo/acoustic stuff.
This is obviously fantastic. And here's a reminder that Kelly also released something recently and it's great.
When you started making this album, what did you want it to sound like? I really love Charli XCX — the drum sound in "Pleaser" is very Charli. It sounds like a ball being thrown against a wall. I love that. I wanted it to sound like Paul Westerberg wrote a pop album with Robyn. Me and Katie would be listening to lots of Carly Rae Jepsen and Robyn as reference points. She showed me a lot about how you can make something sound powerful. She's so smart, she just knows what she's doing. Lord help me
"You'll Be Singing My Name" is incredible, omg. It sounds like Georgia singing a cut from Melodrama. The piano/keys is totally "Green Light" vibes.
*Publications start releasing EOTY lists* Georgia: I’m gonna make these people feel so fucking dumb lmao
This is so good. Can't remember the last time I listened to a youtube stream lmao It sounds like the singer from a band that I love listened to a bunch of pop artists that I love and made an album Which is exactly what this is lol
I zoned out a little on the middle stretch (Like I Do to Easy to Love) but this opens and closes so strongly. What an incredible surprise.
