Wildcard (week 33):
Georgia Lines – Faith
Iโd like to introduce you to Georgia Lines (not to be confused with country band Florida Georgia Line). Sheโs an up and coming independent artist from New Zealand whoโs sure to make new fans with her latest single. It’s the lead track off her new five-track EP Human.
Faith is as captivating as George Michaelโs unrelated single with the same title, but in fact itโs sonically inspired by Prince. The riff-heavy track boasts vulnerable yet catchy lyrics, supported by a funky synth bass and bursts of guitar.
Lyrically, it explores a tension frequently felt in relationships, where stubbornness can often get in the way of necessary change. Lines explains: โAny relationship requires sacrifice from both sides; a give and take, and a willingness to make changes in order for the relationship to thrive. When youโre exhausted from waiting and desperate for that change to happen, you can often feel hopeless or like youโre running out of faith.โ
Faith by Georgia Lines is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. That means itโll feature prominently at the top of the blog for a whole week.
