Georgia – Running Up That Hill

Last January, Georgiaโ€™s one-woman concert at ESNS was one of my highlights of the showcase festival. She played most of the tracks of her second album Seeking Thrills, which had been released a week earlier. But one of the stand-out songs she played was not on the record: a cover of Kate Bushโ€™s Running Up That Hill.

That omission has now been corrected. Last week, the โ€˜Ultimate Thrills Editionโ€™ of Georgiaโ€™s album came out. 27 extra tunes make it a whopping 40-track release. 26 of those are (previously released and unreleased) remixes of the many singles off the album. And then there is Running Up That Hill. Georgiaโ€™s career was an up-hill affair already, by this cover, that fits her like a glove, will push it even further.

On the track, Georgia says: โ€œClosing my live sets with Running Up That Hill has been a pure joy, and it sparked the idea to record it. But, it didnโ€™t start there. Kate Bush has been part of my life and a major influence on my work since I could sing a note. Her music was always played by both my mum and dad, and when I began to understand the way that sound and production worked, I embarked on my own intimate and personal journey with her music. For me, it was more than just a cover, it was emotional, and an experience Iโ€™ll always treasure.โ€
