Hailing from Essex is Georgia & The Vintage Youth, a retro-pop outfit fronted by Georgia Crandon – a girl with a big blonder barnett, and an even bigger voice.
In lieu of the release of their latest single, ‘Overthinker’, the band were also tipped by queen of retro pop, Pixie Lott herself, to be the next big thing. With the release of ‘Overthinker’, it’s easy to see why.
Characterised by the brass sections which The Vintage Youth have come to be known for, ‘Overthinker’ is injected with the sort of energy which can only come from a band who have paid their dues on the festival circuits. The lyrics accompanying the upbeat instrumentation are tongue-in-cheek and sung with a wry smile from frontwoman Georgia, as she bemoans the state of the world from the perspective of a twenty-something year-old waiting on life to really begin.
A relatable subject such as this is tackled with an audible wink to the listener, calling you into Georgia’s world and creating a sense of comradery even as the song convinces you that dancing to its irresistible beats might be the only possible solution to the world’s problems.
A joyous “f*** it!” to the state of the planet, Georgia & The Vintage Youth’s ‘Overthinker’ is the ultimate antidote to the disenchantment of modern life.
