Georgia is creating a brand-new sound for the world to enjoy while travelling back in time and ‘channelling her inner Ricky Lee Jones.
“Johnny Bravo is a reference to a person who has a hold on you despite the fact that their morals are questionable and every fibre of your being wants to hate them. The song combines soul, pop, and personality. When I was writing it, I imagined myself sitting on the beach with a fruity cocktail in my hand. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have worked with such talented musicians on this song, and grateful the sound I had for the track in my head has been brought to life. I’ve always admired Sister Sledge and Donna Summer’s powerful vocal lines so I would say they have influenced the lead vocal big time!”
