GEORGIA MAQ SHARES RAW & INTIMATE LIVE PERFORMANCE OF BIG EMBARRASSING HEART + PLAYING VERY SPECIAL SHOW AS A PART OF MELBOURNE MUSIC WEEK THURSDAY 27TH JANUARY @ MELBOURNE MUSEUM

Overnight Georgia Maq shared a glorious live rendition of 'Big Embarrassing Heart' ahead of her debut headline show at Melbourne Music Week on January 27th.

Filmed at Meat Market by Shoelace Creative and accompanied by her step mum Bec on piano, she presents a breathtakingly raw and beautiful performance. A one shot video, Georgia's voice fills the space with simultaneous strength and vulnerability, a gut wrenching odyssey of begging for love and meditation on acceptance of self, all in a single song.

A track from her debut album Pleaser, this take on 'Big Embarrassing Heart' is a glimpse at what to expect at Georgia's headline show at Melbourne Museum on Thursday January 27th as part of Melbourne Music Week. An ardent performer Georgia will weave heartbreak and euphoria across the set through well loved tracks from Pleaser and as yet unheard anthems. Tickets are on sale now from the Melbourne Music Week website.

Keep an eye out for a little holiday treat from Georgia coming soon and watch the video for 'Big Embarrassing Heart' here.

Since debuting with 2019’s Pleaser LP, Georgia Maq has chased a more genuine form of pop music in her solo career, a vision in the vein of that pioneered by the likes of Robyn, Charli XCX, Carly Rae Jepsen and others, that retains all of the glamour and universality but feels unburdened from capitalist underpinnings. Full of DIY electro-pop that mined evergreen themes of romantic, sexual and self-love, Maq’s solo debut was not so much a transformation as it was a revelation, opening up on her vulnerabilities and heartbreaks, finding strength in this self-exposure and revealing the multitudes to herself beyond the Camp Cope project.

If Pleaser was a left-of-field toe dip, 'Someone Stranger' is a full, unencumbered immersion: the chrysalis. Linking with Alice Ivy, 'Someone Stranger' continues the revelation of Georgia Maq, musing on loneliness, desire, the need for connection and the therapeutic potential of dancefloors, whilst proving once again her penchant for a surprise that rewards.
