Geena Gangi’s ‘In the Movies’: A Dreamy Soundtrack for Fairytale Romantics

Geena Gangi's latest single "In the Movies" welcomes listeners into a realm where fairytale romance converges with a fun indie pop-R&B aesthetic. Co-written with producer Josh "yesh" Zegan, the song is a shiny expedition of yearning — namely, the sort of large, dramatic love we've been assured in the films. Over perky, bouncy production, Geena's smooth and velvety vocals make the song the ultimate new soundtrack to daydreaming across the world, distilling the innocence and the wonder of yearning for a love as cinematic as those in our favourite films.

There's a very intimate vision here. When Geena and Josh were in the studio, they wondered, What does it sound like to yearn for a fairytale love? The answer was a song that balances playfulness and sincerity, enveloping listeners in the golden aura of youthful idealism. The song has an almost childlike naivety, a feeling of wide-eyed optimism that love can — and must — be bigger than life. It's this emotional honesty that renders "In the Movies" not just a hummable song, but a universally relatable anthem for anyone who's ever hoped their romance could just be a bit more cinematic.

Geena's own story adds another level of charisma to the single. At 26, she moved from her hometown of Middleton, Massachusetts, to Los Angeles, following dreams of music, acting, and writing. Along the way, she's developed a signature artistic identity, blending Old Hollywood glamour with modern soundscapes. It's little wonder that she's turning to fantasies and romance; her music has the same starry-eyed quality that defined the golden era of Hollywood, reimagined for today's pop culture landscape.

With "In the Movies," Geena Gangi cements her status as an artist to watch — one who isn't afraid to mix nostalgia and modern cool. Her cinematic approach to songwriting yields a listen that's escapist yet intimately personal. As Geena stakes her claim on the music world, her knack for boiling feelings down to new, genre-bending sound is sure to keep dazzling and leaving listeners wanting more.
