Georgia Lines: The Rose of Jericho (2024)
Sophisticated, mature and crafted songs from a local artist courageous enough to avoid easy bangers or summer anthems in favour of something which feels like a more adult body of work. It moves effortlessly from R’n’B soul to a duet with Teeks and a closing ballad in which she addresses the uncertainty of being twentysomething and still searching. She’d found it with this impressive debut.
Next: Julia Jacklin, Crushing and Pre-Pleasure; Billie Eilish, Happier Than Ever; Esther Phillips, Confessin’ the Blues
