Georgie Neilsen wears her heart on her sleeve with her new folk-rock single “The Last Time I Felt Better.” There’s a powerful vulnerability about this song. The lyrics are honest and raw, the vocals straight from the gut, but there’s a real strength about the way Georgie owns her pain here. I’m a fan.
“‘Last Time I Felt Better’ is about the emotions experienced when two people suddenly appear in each other’s lives and instantly fall into a euphoric romance fuelled by an addiction to that feeling,” she explained. “When the relationship quickly hits a fork in the road, there is a realisation that this flame might burn out and it consumes you with the desire to make that feeling last forever.”
The Brisbane-based singer-songwriter has had such an interesting musical journey. Fronting her former band Georgie & The Growing Pains, she played big events like Mountain Goat Valley Crawl and Hidden Lanes Festival. Then she moved into cabaret as a solo artist, selling out multiple shows at Women in Voice, Queensland Cabaret Festival, and the recent Anywhere Festival. And now her sound has evolved again into something so organic and heartfelt.
Georgie will celebrate the release of “The Last Time I Felt Better” with a launch show at The Bearded Lady in Brisbane tomorrow night, June 25. Make sure you arrive early for Meg Ripps and Menajerie in the supporting slots.
