New Song Of The Day – Georgia Lines – Call Me By My Name

0

Here’s a bit of loveliness from Georgia Lines for your Saturday morning…Call Me By My Name.

We’ve been following Georgia and so should you. She’s from Tauranga, but been playing in Auckland quite often lately. Catch her on tour with Deva Mahal. Details in the blurb below:

Aotearoa vocal powerhouse, Georgia Lines, today releases her stunning new single, ‘Call Me By My Name’.

The hypnotic piano driven ballad showcases Lines’ exquisite vocals and emphasises why she is one of the most mesmerising voices in the country right now.

Written at the end of lockdown in 2020, Tauranga-based Lines teamed up with acclaimed writer and producer Djeisan Suskov (LEISURE, Benee, Paige) to create the understated, yet powerful ‘Call Me By My Name’.

The song explores human relationships and the challenges we all feel as humans.

“It’s about the tension that is felt in every relationship where as individuals we want to be seen, understood and valued for who we are,” says Lines. “… But knowing that compromise, sacrifice and a willingness to learn and grow is necessary to love another human.

“I am so incredibly proud of this one,” Lines continues. “Djeisan [Suskov] is such an incredible writer and producer, and it has been such a privilege working together on ‘Call Me By My Name’.

The single is accompanied by a music video that is best described as a visual piece of art and features the directorial debut of Georgia Lines herself.

“I loved being a part of the directing process in this video. My inner bossy 12 year old self came to the surface in the director’s chair.

“We filmed the video whilst doing a photoshoot for ‘Call Me By My Name’ and thought it was such a fun concept of splitting screens to create strange and wonderful silhouettes of myself with all the moments that happen behind the camera.”
