Sydney-based singer-songwriter Georgia Mulligan has offered another tantalising glimpse into her forthcoming album, 'Unheaven', with the release of her third single, ‘Split’. The track is a gorgeous example of Mulligan’s lyrical prowess and a hint of the introspective journey listeners can expect from the new record, set to drop on 10 September.
'Split' is a gentle yet powerful confessional, a song that Mulligan herself describes as "part confessional and part ridiculous poem." It's a beautifully crafted piece, anchored by a captivating bass and percussion groove that provides the perfect backdrop for Mulligan to lay her heart bare. Her songwriting is both clever and deeply personal, inviting the listener into an intimate space.
The new single arrives with a charming music video directed by Genevieve Kaiser. The visual accompaniment perfectly matches the song's intimate feel, featuring a montage of domestic scenes filmed in Mulligan's own home. We see the artist performing the track directly to the camera from different corners of her house, reinforcing the song's heartfelt and personal nature.
In a move that will surely excite fans and vinyl collectors alike, Mulligan has also announced a special edition collaboration with Impressed Recordings. A limited run of 100 coloured vinyl pressings of the 'Unheaven' LP will be available for purchase, with pre-orders open now. This special release is a perfect way to celebrate the new album and own a beautiful, tangible piece of Mulligan's artistry.
Reflecting on the creative process behind 'Split', Mulligan shared, "we just had fun pulling together an arrangement that became the basis for what we took to the band. Clay (drums) & Maia (guitar) took this skeleton and brought their feel to it. We broke it down and built it back up, over and over again, so the making of the recorded version became like the processes and cycles that sparked the song itself." This collaborative spirit and cyclical process are beautifully evident in the finished product, creating a track that is both polished and brimming with raw, authentic emotion.
With 'Split' now out in the world, the excitement for 'Unheaven' is building. The album promises to be a powerful collection of songs from one of Australia's most compelling emerging talents.
