Georgia Gets By, the project of New Zealand’s Georgia Nott, has announced a new EP, ‘Split Lip’.
Set for release on 6th September via Luminelle Recordings, the news is accompanied by the release of two singles, ‘Some Kind of Angel’ and ‘Split Lip’.
‘Some Kind of Angel’ was co-written with Grammy-nominated producer Billboard, known for his work with Ariana Grande, Dua Lipa, and Blackpink. Both tracks are from the forthcoming EP, which explores themes of personal growth and change.
Nott explains the concept behind the dual release: “‘Split Lip’ and ‘Some Kind of Angel’ are depictions of my masculine and feminine counterparts. The songs and their visual worlds express how it feels to engage in intimacy through these two lenses. The soft gentleness of some kind of angel vs. the stoic, and at times aggressive, nature of split lip. Although these two parts of myself are inseparable it was fun to play with the contrast between them.”
The EP was inspired by the end of Nott’s first queer relationship, resulting in deeply personal songs. “When people don’t hold back in their art it’s really beautiful to me,” Nott shares. “It’s impossible to make the kind of art that I make on my own.”
Accompanying visuals for both tracks were created by frequent collaborator Silken Weinberg. Weinberg explains: “We knew we wanted to use the double release as an opportunity to show two sides of the same coin, like two opposing forces that fuse and connect; it’s tension that often keeps things in place. Clayton Mccraken approached these videos with a lot of care and beautifully reworked rather vulnerable footage, distorting and enhancing it until it felt like Georgia’s inner world. To me, the visuals resemble the scary parallel feelings of falling in love, or embarking on a trip that could go one of two ways.”
