Grammy Nominated Contributor Georgi Kay Gears Up For Debut

Georgi Kay is a bit of a legend. She's performed on a Grammy nominated single, been nominated and won a number of songwriting awards, and is scheduled to head out on tour with Peter, Bjorn & John. The first single for her new record, Where I Go To Disappear, premiered at Billboard, and we've got the video for her second single premiering at EARMILK. "Toxins" is a smoldering pop song, with a pulsing rhythm section, and glistening synths that recall Oneohtrix Point Never, backdropping Kay's iconic vocal.

The Tess O'Connor directed video depicts a swaggering Kay in stark black & white wandering a desolate suburb. The still, almost movie-set like quality of an empty suburb has a certain unsettling effect a la American Beauty that perfectly compliments the tracks brooding synths. EARMILK called it "..a haunting but infectious indie-pop track that you can't help but keep hitting repeat."

Georgi Kay on "Toxins" -

"This song is about the toxicity of insecurities and the Jekyll & Hyde nature in which those insecurities can coexist in a seemingly confident person. The light/ dark scenes in the video reflect this almost bipolar nature."

With a love for creating and looping electronic beats, bass, synths and vocal chops - Georgi Kay is a British-Australian artist based in LA who has received multiple awards for her original work, songwriting, and collaborations over the years.
