Our LA based writing/producing/mixing superman, Sean Oakley woke up to the incredible news that Georgia’s sophomore record, Seeking Thrills has been nominated for this year’s Mercury Prize. Sean co-produced the record with Georgia and Mark Ralph and it’s being picking up plaudits since its release earlier this year - including a ton of blog and press love, strong editorial support at digital and a whole load of radio play, particularly on the UK’s Radio 1.
The record, released on Domino features on a particularly important shortlist for the award, which is the first in the competition’s 29 year history to have more female than male nominees. Georgia’s in good company on the list, which also features nominations for Charli XCX’s awesome How I’m Feeling Now, the incredible Future Nostalgia from Dua Lipa and Kano’s genre defining most recent effort Hoodies All Summer.
