GG Fearn – Black Mirror EP
GG Fearn - Black Mirror EP
Release Date: Out Now
Last year, Georgia Fearn came to
my attention and blew my mind with her debut album ‘Perfect on Paper’ and now
she has rebranded herself as GG Fearn and come back with new EP ‘Black Mirror’ –
prepare your minds. This four-track collection opens up with ‘Deal with the
Devil’ which dances in with a reggae inspired keyboard melody and Fearn’s flighty,
entrancing voice that demands and grabs your attention as she sings “living
without a soul ain’t so bad, I never really had one anyway”. Title track ‘Black
Mirror’ is up next and it has a beautiful mix of 80s pop fun, 90s melodies and
an entirely fresh sound as Fearn sings, raps and generally does pop better than
any number of SyCo payrolled writers could achieve in a month of Sundays.
There’s a music box opening to ‘Teen
Queen’ that is soon blown out of the box by a Bond-esque dramaticism that hints
at GG Fearn’s musical scope and imagination with rippling piano and strings
soon turning in to America-ready pop on a grand scale. Like, seriously grand. The
EP closes out with ‘Famous Last Words’ and it is as fiercely honest and
strikingly original as the rest of the EP with semi-industrial beats, sparse
melodies and the heavily effected vocals that we should all be in love with by
now. The only artist I’ve come across that is anywhere GG Fearn’s ballpark is Grace
Inspace and that is high praise coming from a Grace Inspace fan like me.
Stunning stuff.
