I normally don’t listen to chilled out electro music like this. It typically feels a bit aimless to me. I especially don’t listen to it on Mondays, when I’m generally looking for something to kickstart me. Yet somehow I find myself drawn to “OPST”, the new track from Aussie expat George Maple in spite of it all.
There’s just something about George’s voice that’s so alluring. It reminds me a little of Katie Noonan in the upper register. It’s got a richness about it that is so different to the breathiness we hear in so many modern vocalists. George is currently based in London, where she’s recording new materials with buzz bands Bondax, Snakehips, and Shadow Child. Something tells me we can expect big things on the horizon from this soulful local-born songstress.
