Today has brought a lot of bad news. You could let it get to you, or you could hit play on “Someone Stranger,” the stunning new track from Georgia Maq and Alice Ivy, and just dance out. I know which option I’ve taken.
“Annika and I knew we wanted to make a song together so we made the time and in about three hours we had pretty much finished ‘Someone Stranger’,” Georgia Maq explained. “I write lyrics really quickly when I feel I have to and Annika creates amazing melodies so it just worked really well together. The song is very much open to interpretation, but personally it’s about purging romance through movement.”
With so much of the country in lockdown, this song’s themes of loneliness and the need for connection really hit. The gorgeous electro-pop melodies are upbeat though, balancing the heavy themes with uplifting sounds. Georgia and Alice’s voices blend so perfectly too. This is wonderful.
Georgia Maq will perform at the Sydney Opera House as part of VIVID later this year. She’s planning to announce new shows soon, which will give us all something to look forward to.
