Hannah Georgas’s music is no secret in her native Canada. Previous albums racked up multiple nominations for the Polaris Music Prize and JUNOs. The title track to her new album “That Emotion” has sat in CBC Music’s top 5 radio chart for 8 weeks, and was at #1 for two weeks ahead of artists like The Strokes, HAIM, Phoebe Bridgers & Harry Styles. All That Emotion is poised to be her breakout moment internationally. It is an album-length collaboration with producer Aaron Dessner of The National. Of course Dessner is also responsible for co-creating Taylor Swift’s Folklore which, since it was released earlier this summer, has become one of the most critically and commercially successful ’surprise’ albums of all time. All That Emotion is a ‘next step’ for fans just discovering Dessner’s track record of breaking or reinventing bold female voices in indie: This Is The Kit, Sharon Van Etten, Lisa Hannigan, etc. It is a pitch-perfect, album-length experience existing in the same sound world as these successful projects and drawing from the same crew of studio personnel (synth and piano player Thomas “Doveman” Bartlett - engineer Jon Low - drummers Jason Treuting & James McAlister). Finished prior to our ‘coronavirus year,’ it sounds like music made for these times. Georgas writes deeply personal songs reckoning with the past—yet the warm, enveloping sound world and lyrical themes of change and resilience are designed to calm human hearts frayed by these trying times. It has received enthusiastic, early media: “…a meditation that subtly hints at that feeling of emotions starting to pile up and surface” — Stereogum “…immediately arresting” — NPR Music “like a new generation’s Feist.” — Consequence of Sound RIYL: Aimee Mann, Feist, Phoebe Bridgers, Taylor Swift, Sharon Van Etten, This Is The Kit, and The National
