YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE “SCARED” OF FALLING IN LOVE WITH TRIPLE THREAT, SINGING SENSATION, GEORGIA ROSE (24) – AS SHE WILL BE AROUND FOR A LONG TIME BASED ON HER FIRST OFFICIAL DEBUT SINGLE
Fans still mourning the loss of iconic music personalities that were taken from this earth way too soon, such as Amy Winehouse, will no doubt continue to believe that artists such as these are irreplaceable as one of a kind talents. And that remains absolutely true. However, chances are good that if you enjoyed unique artists such as Amy and are currently still adding the latest releases of original artists such as Duffy and/or Siya to your favourite playlist, you are very likely to fall head over heals in love with the music of Georgia Rose (24), who just released her first official debut single, Scared. Georgia Rose is proving herself to be a force to be reckoned with in the music industry, on par with many artists recognised for their individual style and sound, and who established artist categories of their own.
This triple threat (composer of note, vocals unlike any other and looks begging to grace the cover of magazines) known as Georgia Rose, will most certainly make anyone sit up and take notice of her upon first hearing her vocal pipes and sound, which in fairness to her, can and should not be compared to any artist(s) either – whether present or long gone. However, you do not have to take anyone words for it, including the world-renowned music publisher John Fishlock (publisher behind artists ranging from Aretha Franklin to Wet, Wet, Wet), who signed Georgia almost instantly to his label, Active Music Publishing, after his first introduction to her…simply take a listen to Scared, now available on all digital platforms, and decide for yourself.
This South African mega-talent, hailing originally from George, brings a sexy swing to pop music and has a unique blend of genre and era, thanks to growing up on rock ’n roll, jazz and 90’s pop. Georgia further incorporates inspiration from greats such as The Rolling Stone and Ella Fitzgerald to create her vivacious sound – establishing her as the genuine deal with a s strong sound and soft heart.
Apart from these artists, Georgia adds that some other musical idols and influences also include Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, The Beatles, Pink Floyd and not surprisingly, Amy Winehouse.
Georgia was really “scared” when it came to falling in love
Her single, Scared, is “100% my baby,” the singing sensation reveals, having written all the lyrics and music herself. A song about the duality of excitement and fear that comes with falling for someone hard and fast, which is exactly what happened to her, Georgia further adds: “I needed to know if this person felt as deeply as I did. I’m single currently, so it’s not difficult to imagine how that turned out. But hey, at least I got a great song out of it.”
She continues: “The song is just about being willing to wear your heart on your sleeve, and wanting to take something casual to the next level.”
Scared was produced by none other than Sasha Righini (drummer of the band, Plastics), who worked on at least six of Georgia’s songs that she is planning on releasing in the future. “Sasha is such an innovative producer as well as an outstanding drummer. We’ve been holding onto a couple of future singles for a while now, so I’m eager to get them out,” she says.
Georgia, who now lives in Woodstock in Cape Town, says that the best description of her music she has heard so far is that it is “emotionally badass”.

A look into Georgia’s soul to discover who she really is
Georgia describes herself as someone with a dry sense of humour, but surprisingly deep, adding that her two philosophies in life are, “Not my circus, not my monkeys” and that “You can’t regret being true to yourself”.
She further states that she is generally extroverted, but that it can sometimes just be a defence mechanism for not wanting people to see how sensitive she really is. She shares that she has been through a lot in life, but that the biggest obstacle she had to overcome was to believe that she was indeed “good enough”.
In her free time Georgia enjoys making music, socialising, reading non-fiction, snorkelling and filling up her passport as much as she possibly can.
Georgia concludes: “I want to inspire people to be more real and more transparent about themselves, regardless of the risk of being judged or rejected. I feel like society encourages us to do the opposite. You’ll never find other people like yourself otherwise and that’s a big reason why people feel isolated or alone. If it won’t hurt anyone else, you should be true to yourself and your wants. Your happiness is crucial, but it should never be at the expense of others.”
