Tesse and Georgia Mulligan have come together for one of the most beautiful duets I’ve heard in some time. “Over Now” is a bit of a slow burner, but take a moment to let it wash over you. The connection that comes through is really so magical.
This collaboration has been a long time coming, as Tom Stephens, who records under the name Tesse, and Georgia met in the studio way back in 2015.
“I was called in to play drums on Georgia’s record,” he recalled. “From the start there was an ease to the interaction. Georgia is a straight shooter; it saves a lot of time. There’s a mutual understanding and appreciation for the process.”
Both artists had a big year in 2018. Tesse released the debut album How it Unfolds and supported the likes of Jack River, Angie McMahon, and Oh Mercy. Meanwhile Georgia impressed at BIGSOUND and Newtown Festival. Both acts had tracks among the most played on FBi Radio. However, they’re both happy to take time out from their own careers to explore something new together.
“It gets exhausting focusing solely on your own creative pursuits,” Georgia added. “It’s refreshing diving into someone else’s headspace and seeing how they tackle the creative process.”
Tesse is working on album number two while Georgia will release her debut album Mirror in April. But before all that, they’ll team up for a blink-and-you’ll-miss it tour celebrating the release of “Over Now.” Both shows are free to attend, so there’s really no excuse for missing them!
