Since debuting with 2019’s Pleaser LP, Georgia Maq has chased a more genuine form of pop music in her solo career, a vision in the vein of that pioneered by the likes of Robyn, Charli XCX, Carly Rae Jepsen and others, that retains all of the glamour and universality but feels unburdened from capitalist underpinnings. Full of DIY electro-pop that mined evergreen themes of romantic, sexual and self-love, Maq’s solo debut was not so much a transformation as it was a revelation, opening up on her vulnerabilities and heartbreaks, finding strength in this self exposure and revealing the multitudes to herself beyond the Camp Cope project.

Her solo debut Pleaser, produced by Katie Dey, is a glorious mix of garageband pop, the eight tracks shimmer and pulsate and call to mind artists such as Lorde and Gwen Stefani. The album took out Feature Album on triple j and Album of the Week on The Music, and received rave reviews from multiple press outlets including The Big Issue, Fader and Brookyln Vegan.

The release of Alice Ivy produced ‘Someone Stranger’ continues the revelation of Georgia Maq, musing on loneliness, desire, the need for connection and the therapeutic potential of dancefloors, whilst proving once again her penchant for a surprise that rewards. Premiered on triple j Drive ‘Someone Stranger’ captured the attention of audience andpress alike. The Guardian called it one of Australia’s best new tracks for August and it was featured on Rolling Stone, Brooklyn Vegan, Consequence and Stereogum.

Following this Georgia released self-produced track ‘Joe Rogan’. A fan-favourite the track that garnered extensive press coverage from the likes of Pitchfork, Stereogum, Rolling Stone, NME, Consequence and Brooklyn Vegan among others.

Making her solo live performance debut at the Sydney Opera House as part of Vivid Live completed Georgia’s transformation into a glimmering pop powerhouse, weaving moments of quiet vulnerability with the unbridled joy of music fit for dancing.
