Stream Georgia’s Gripping Self-Titled Debut Album Exclusively on Noisey

Georgia Barnes is 21 year-old North London-based producer/multi-instrumentalist, who goes by the name of Georgia, just like Billie Piper went by the name of Billie or Cheryl Fernandez-Versini tried to be known as Cheryl so that she could spell her own autographs. Georgia is a breath of inventive air – mixing a singer-songwriter intimacy with grimey electro and tribal rhythms that make her both uniquely London and unique in general.

Her debut self-titled abum, which was written, performed, and produced by Georgia in her home studio over a two-year period. Now it can be streamed, listened to, heard and enjoyed by you. It’s an energising burst of percussive sophisti-pop that draws influences from M.I.A, The Knife, and Oneohtrix Point Never. Sometimes dark, sometimes playful, but always gripping, Georgia is a wonderfully idiosyncratic combination of very modern influences. Listen exclusively on Noisey above.

As well as being a bitchin’ musician, Georgia also used to play semi-professional football for QPR Girls as a teenager and earlier this year she took us on a day trip to the Loftus Road stadium to talk sports and stuff. Read all about it here.
