Mondays are never easy, but Georgie Neilsen’s gorgeous new single “Eyes Wide Open” is making my morning a little easier. She won my heart with “The Last Time I Felt Better” in the middle of the year, and this is a brilliant follow-up. It’s such a beautiful blend of folk, rock, and indie-pop influences that’s a little reminiscent of material from Angie McMahon or Tia Gostelow. The big, heartfelt vocals from Georgie are giving me all the feels.
“Eyes Wide Open has gone through many forms,” Georgie admitted. “From a heavy guitar-driven song to a solo soulful folk tune and through drawing influences from HAIM and Katy Perry it has transformed into a sweet and sassy bop about reclaiming power and independence post-heartbreak.”
“Eyes Wide Open” comes from Georgie’s debut EP Suburban Daze, which drops on November 18. She’ll launch the EP for hometown fans in Meeanjin/Brisbane at The Brightside on November 20.
