This Christmas by Georgie Sweet

First Word Records is proud to bring you a new two-track seasonal single from Georgie Sweet.

Following the release of her brilliant sophomore album 'I Swear To You', Georgie takes on the seminal Donny Hathaway classic 'This Christmas' in her own unique soulful style.

This is backed up with a brand new composition, written by Georgie and her creative partner Marc Rapson, and featuring the beautiful harp prowess of First Word family, Amanda Whiting.

On the glorious ballad 'Its Christmas (As Long As You're Here)' Georgie explains "this was an impromptu song written in between recording 'This Christmas' and working on new music. For me, Christmas is all about who you share it with - even without the usual traditions, it still feels like Christmas if you're with the ones you love. This song ended up being a little moment that captures that feeling."

Brighton-based singer/songwriter Georgie Sweet is one of the UK's best kept secrets, but her rep is fast-spreading. Her recent releases received an abundance of love from the likes of Gilles Peterson, Lauren Laverne (BBC 6 Music), Jamie Cullum (BBC Radio 2), Lefto, Patrick Forge, Bradley Zero, Tony Minvielle, Children of Zeus, Clash Magazine and various selectors on Jazz FM, Rinse FM & NTS Radio, with previous material also getting shine from DJ Jazzy Jeff & DJ Spinna to name a few from across the globe.

Georgie is an incredibly talented young vocalist having first started singing at a young age at home with her mum - a singer herself. Georgie began working with Deborah Jordan after meeting at a school music workshop and developed her unique style and song writing abilities in music sessions at Futuristica HQ.
Georgie's debut album is the culmination of her first few years experience in music.
