STREAMING NOW: The new single from Paterson (the latest incarnation of South Wales based singer-songwriter Georgia Paterson) ‘Smug and Married’ is a toe tapping anti-love anthem, written for the ones tormented by the sickening ritual of Valentines Day:
It tells the story of agony, when falling in love with a straight married women and is cleverly conveyed with bluesy piano, jazz trumpets and self-assuring sarcasm. Paterson’s music celebrates the LGBTQ community and her involvement has been recognised by Diva Magazine, Lezbelib Magazine, Buzz Magazine and has been given ‘Track of the Week’ on BBC Radio Wales.
Taking inspiration from a huge catalog of folk legends such as Simon and Garfunkel, Bob Dylan, Melissa Ferrick and Brandi Carlile. Georgia crafts music overflowing with
metaphors and poetry that speaks universally whilst simultaneously encapsulating deep personal experiences and sage like epiphanies.
Having worked extensively in the genre as a solo act, Georgia felt that as her new material seemed inspired by collaborations a new slimmed down name would
be appropriate given then paired down yet provocative nature of the songs.
Throughout her career Paterson had collaborated with many distinguished people in the music industry, including Aled Richards from Welsh alt-rock band Catatonia, producer Greg Haver (Melanie C, Manic Street Preachers & Catatonia) and Charlie Francis
(REM The Noisettes). As well as this, Georgia has supported Amy Wadge (Grammy Award Winning Co-writer for Ed Sheeran), plus festivals and events involved with LGBTQ including Oxford, Swindon and Wiltshire Pride.
