Following in the same vein as her hiatus-ending single ‘Haunted’, this electro-pop rebuttal sees Georgia Reed captivate with ear-worm hooks, gothic instrumentation, and the injection of her signature ethereal vocals. ‘Honey’ is a compelling response to the scepticism Georgia Reed faced during her relocation to London from Western Australia; this tongue-in-cheek retort is fuelled by a sense of irony, and dedicated to all those who doubted her. The heart of the song lies in its chorus, a bold declaration that echoes independence and resilience: “ I had some friends who had been placing bets on how long I’d “last” in London. The chorus is basically saying “I don’t need your prayers” – Georgia Reed.
Raised in Western Australia, Georgia Reed has a voice of velvet and a magnetism on stage that has captivated audiences for years. During a 5-year hiatus, Reed found home in London and has carved her niche as a songwriter with a penchant for dark, moody sounds and cryptic storytelling. Speaking of her decision to relocate, Reed said, “I’d always been influenced by UK bands and artists. It played a really big part for me. ” Life has since fallen not apart, but together for Reed and her eagerly awaited new music proves as gripping and contagious as the pandemic it was created in.
