"Don’t Call It": The Story Behind Cerys Georgina’s Latest Offering

Cerys Georgina doesn't just release music - she unearths it. Her latest work, a subtle and enigmatic piece of music, cannot be put into words. "Don't Call it", she warns, indicating that "normal" labels aren't able to describe this work. It all began with a demo - a good draft in cyberspace, while she tried out to find the melody, the lyrics and the beat. In the silence of producing, overmuch observance of detail can be a hindrance and got Cerys a bit lost on the technical aspect. What was she trying to say?

The response was not a bolt of lightning, but a whisper, towards the beginning of the year, individuals she met, exchanged words with. Individuals she was working with, accidental confessions - everything is the emotional thread of the song. There is a cinematically haunting quality to it: a homesick and memory-filled song bound up in a velvet ribbon of indifference. 

Cerys doesn't compose songs - she narrates tales. Each song is a fragment in a photograph, every note a pace, and it's a letter of love scribbled within the margins of a diary. There is this contradiction that makes it strong: hope of en counter and surety of loss. This tension gives the song its voice, its pain, its authenticity. It listens to the midnight as a breathed secret.

The song's a piece of her, something that took time to understand and even longer to express. She’s proud of it, not because it’s polished or perfect, but because it’s real. So no, don’t call it just a single, it's more.
