New Music From Australian Singer/Songwriter By Pinky Black GG Magree, also known as Georgia Magree is a woman with many facets to her career. She is an Australian electronic music producer, DJ and singer/songwriter. Originally from Sydney, Australia, GG has relocated to Los Angeles, California. And why not, a lot of the music business is centered around sunny California. It seems like this is the most logical place for her to continue with her career. GG has now teamed up with In Her Words vocalist Joey Fleming for her new release, “Nervous Habits.” On this new song she shares vocals with Joey in what can be described as ‘tight hooks over melodic dubstep instrumentation.’ GG has become widely well know for her ‘raucous bass music which also pierces this fine song. “Nervous Habits” sort of takes her in a different direction this time around though. It shows her sensitive side a bit more than other songs she has released through her extremely personal lyrics and the delivery of them. Joey and GG trade off their verses like a couple of young lovers trying hard to make sense out of their relationship and keep their love alive. To each of them, they are each other’s ‘nervous habit.’ Throughout the song a bass line keeps repeating itself over and over, delivering a bit of an ominous feeling to the relationship in the song. The song itself exudes this raw emotion through some incredible vocals resulting in these intense feelings of doubt and hope. GG tells us that “Everyone has that one love that they can’t break away from… ‘Nervous Habits’ is a story about mine.” Through GG’s undeniable skill in production, acting and as a singer/songwriter, she has also brought an incredible video to

She has been revered for her original singles such as “Ghost”, “I Wanna Lose You,” “Jauz” and her collaboration with Sullivan King on “Flatline”. She has literally become one of Australia’s top exports, now bringing great new music to the world. GG has also shared the stage with quite a few big names in the business, including Pharrell, DJ Snake, WuTang Clan, Zeds Dead, Virtual Self, Iggy Azalea, Nightmre, and a few others. Her co-star on this song and video is equally as well known. He is the lead singer of the alternative punk band, In Her Words. Joey Fleming is also based in Los Angeles. His ability to communicate with his fans through his music and heartfelt lyrics has helped connect to them in more than just a musical way, but a spiritual way as well. When he sings, they feel what he feels. They feel like they are sharing the same experience. Fleming and his band In Her Words have released a lot of songs and EPs since their inception in 2013. Now he is breaking new ground with his collaboration with GG Magree on her song “Nervous Habits,” which will definitely bring him to another audience. This has been quite the song for the two of them, and after listening to the song and watching the video, I hope it’s not the last we see of them together. They make quite a team, and they really do justice to the premise and music of this song and video. Congratulations go out to GG and Joey for such a fine performance…
