Songs of the Week: November 28 - December 04, 2022
“Headrush” and “Homes” by Georgia Harmer
Earlier this year, Georgia Harmer released the excellent debut album Stay In Touch, which she’s now revisiting, sharing alternate versions of a pair of songs.
“Headrush” and “Homes” are both turned into gorgeous, piano driven tunes, wth Harmer explaining, “It’s been just over a year since ‘Headrush’ came out and started slowly introducing the world to Stay In Touch. The songs on the album were written over the course of many years, through many periods of huge growth. These alternate versions take two of the foundational songs on Stay In Touch back to how they sounded when I first wrote them, just words and melodies of emotional processing. Singing them now in this way brings me back to their meaning, and the way it evolves and stays true over time.”

“Beautiful Life” by Jill Barber
We’ve already had a couple glimpses of Jill Barber’s upcoming album Homemaker, and the latest comes with “Beautiful Life”.
Barber says it’s a reminder “that social media doesn’t tell the whole story. That a pretty picture doesn’t always reflect the whole truth, and that living a rich and beautiful life is about embracing the messy chaos of it all- the raw, authentic, and real moments, rather than just the highlight reel.”
And the new tune comes with a charming lyrics video that (literally) illustrates that point, which you can watch below! Then, mark down February 10th for the release of Homemaker, on Outside Music.
