Georgia Fields Wows Me With “Holding My Hands Out”

If your Tuesday needs a lift, you’ll want to hear Georgia Fields’ beautiful new single “Holding My Hands Out.” It’s such a stunning track, with Georgia’s sublime vocals and powerful lyrics set against a striking lush soundtrack. Georgia and her engineer and drummer Josh Barber layered sounds from half-broken children’s toys, vintage wooden percussion instruments, terracotta pots, and Georgia’s string quartet Andromeda through the track to create its unique sound.

“It’s a song about that primal desire we all have to be held. It’s about reaching your hands out for comfort, but grasping at shadows,” Georgia explained. “From a songwriting perspective, I was inspired by the simple yet anthemic choruses of artists like Sarah Blasko, Weyes Blood and Sharon van Etten. I was also hugely impacted by the novel Islands, by Australian author Peggy Frew. There’s something about Peggy’s writing that cuts straight to my heart – I’ve found all her novels deeply affecting. Holding My Hands Out is partly written from the perspective of her character June, as well as June’s mother, Helen.”

“Holding My Hands Out” is on all your favourite streaming services, but I think it’s best experienced with the creative music video, the 11th collaboration between Georgia and indie director and cinematographer Rohan Spong. It’s stunning, but if moths make you squeamish you might want to give it a miss!

“Holding My Hands Out” comes from Georgia’s long-awaited third album, Hiraeth, which is due to drop in November. Fans can expect to hear more from that release when she launches “Holding My Hands Out” with an all-ages matinee show at Wesley Anne on July 10.

Georgia Fields Gives Us “Something Borrowed, Something Blue”

Georgia Fields is currently adding the finishing touches to her new album, but she’s releases this gorgeous song “Something Borrowed, Something Blue” to tide us over.

The track has a wonderful whimsical air about it, with the quirky sounds of a child’s animal toy meeting more traditional orchestration. The song’s romantic without being cloying, and Georgia’s voice is stunning. If this is what we have to look forward to, I can’t wait to hear the LP when it hits stores this winter!

If you feel the same way and live in Melbourne, make sure you catch her single launch at The Toff in Town on April 29. If you’re not in Melbourne don’t sweat it; a full national tour is in the works to coincide with the album’s release.
