Following on from her triple j Unearthed High-winning debut, 17-year-old singer/songwriter, George Alice, returns with highly-anticipated follow-up single, Stuck In a Bubble – out now via Concord/Caroline Australia.
Produced by Reunion Island-born, NASAYA, and mixed by production powerhouse, Neal Pogue, (Tyler The Creator, PINK!, Anderson Paak, Robyn), Stuck In a Bubble showcases George’s unique vocal and artistry in just over two-and-a-half minutes.
“I’m hoping Stuck In a Bubble can be heard as an anthem for people young and old who feel like their ground isn’t steady, they don’t have plans, and ultimately are just a little confused about the world around them,” George says. “I’m filled with questions I don’t think I will ever find answers to, but hopefully this is the arm of comfort reaching towards you to be on this journey together.”
The partnering music video features triple j Unearthed alumni Mali Jose, Debbies, Nick Ward, Tulliah, Matilda Pearl and Daniel Steinhart (TOWNS) – with George and co. teaming up with Melbourne-based professional dancers, Melissa Yvonne Pham, Jayden Wall, Martha Berhane, Steve Fernando to create a clip shot remotely by each performer and compiled completely of their self-shot footage.
“Originally planning visuals and ideas months ahead, like many others, we realized the reality of COVID–19 meant that we had to adapt,” George explains. “The shoot was really special having to plan, rehearse and film all through a phone in different places. Referencing the Brady Bunch and TV shows from over the years, the video has come together and fulfilled my expectations showing isolation in a fun positive light!”
George is proud to have enlisted an entirely female production team for the making of this video, including director Claudia Brand, choreographer Zoee Marsh, stylist Jam Baylon and producer Caroline Fanning. Watch it here.
Releasing her first song at the age of 15, George Alice’s debut track Circles took the triple j Unearthed High crown over 1500 high school-aged entrants – relive her crowning moment here. Since then, Circles has been streamed more than 5.5 million times and climbed to #1 on Australia’s viral charts; hit #31 on Spotify’s GLOBAL Discovery Chart and sat in the Top Ten of triple j’s Most Played.
It’s been a whirlwind 12 months for the Adelaide local – playing to thousands of music fans at events and festivals including Laneway Festival, Rolling Sets, Twilight at Taronga and the Australian Open, as well as opening for Broods, Vera Blue and Tash Sultana. In addition to partnering with Concord on new single Stuck In a Bubble, George Alice has signed on with US live agent Tom Windish at Paradigm Talent Agency (Billie Eilish, Lorde), alongside Australian representation from WME.
