    Georgia's also able to fuse a few different eras of electro-pop to create songs whose high sheen doesn't impede their intimacy or immediacy. [Sep 2023, p.27]

    Punchy, playful and exhilarating, with Euphoric Georgia has regained her artistic verve.

    What is also quite impressive about this album is that amidst the dominant beats and densely textured arrangements, Georgia’s presence and her words are never shrouded. Furthermore, her openness and vulnerability throughout is immensely commanding and as you go through the tracklist, you become increasingly curious to hear where she’s at.

    Even ballads like "Give it Up for Love" and "Mountain Song," while rooted in dance music, have a fresh and organic feel to them that feels equally suited to the dark booth of a nightclub as it does a cozy catch up at home.

    Georgia’s willingness to experiment is promising, but it’s unfortunate that Euphoric takes such a predominantly safe journey. As on Seeking Thrills, some songs also succumb to vague lyrics that resemble placeholders.

    The album’s second half leans too heavily on slow, subdued songs, and Georgia’s ostensibly personal lyrics rarely speak in anything but the most general terms. So while singles like “Give It Up for Love” and the title track make for rousing enough dance-pop, It’s Euphoric never quite rises to the promise of its title.

    One of the issues with Euphoria is that it’s very pretty, almost oppressively so. The beats and the synths are rounded and smooth like baby-proofing edge guards. The vocals are fetching, as Georgia has a delightful voice. However, she has chosen to sing most of these songs in a demure, modest delivery. So, even though the title promises euphoria, it rarely reaches that high of a peak.

    Once again, to this kind of projects, I can only hope Georgia is enjoying her own music, because I'm not precisely finding myself very a fondOnce again, to this kind of projects, I can only hope Georgia is enjoying her own music, because I'm not precisely finding myself very a fond to this. The great things I found in "Seeking Thrills" (2020) are not even here anymore. And I have to say I'm a little sad, because the only thing I found here were some bad clichés and attempts to bring joy out of barely upbeat sounds with some messy composition, just decent production and the lyrics... well... This is all against euphoria. This is how easy it is to make very bad pop music. Expand
