Georgia Crandon’s undeniable vocal talent is in its utmost swing on ‘Relapse’, her soulful, glamorous, stirring, and seductive latest single.
Based in the English town of Loughton, Georgia Crandon is a singer and songwriter whose screeching megaphone yelps are displaying her as a flamboyant diva, a charismatic, soulful troubadour pouring her whole heart out for us to watch, woo, and weep. ‘Relapse’ brandishes a retro cinematic feel that’s further amplified by the song’s dusty and vintage-feeling production. With a booming and roomy drum sound, vocals distorted through a megaphone, as intense as Matt Bellamy’s similarly distorted vocal antics, and a composition that drips with a venomous catchiness.
‘Relapse’ is a short and densely packed piece of music, having space in its 3-minute runtime for multiple song sections, each with its own, unique harmonic structure, and twisting chord progressions, and each equally competing for the spotlight, which ultimately is reserved for Crandon’s world-class vocal performance and the song’s frantic and sublime guitar solo.
One of the most stand-out listens I’ve heard recently, Georgia Crandon’s vocal talent sure deserves a massive amount of attention. Also, her songwriting prowess, making ‘Relapse’ into one of the year’s most engaging and fulfilling musical rides, is worth a ton of appreciation.
