Returning with an effortless and stunning track, rising artist Beth George delivers introspective lyricism and powerful vocals in ‘Sour’. Building to a climactic chorus, the dynamic track shows off Beth’s talents to the best of their ability, as listeners get to bask in Beth’s dreamy musical skill. Establishing herself as a progressive force in the next wave of Gen Z voices, Beth’s intimate and relatable narratives are more than enough to put her on the map as an artist to watch.
Beth explains, “’Sour’ feels like the first track I’ve written in a long time that feels like ‘home’. It was during lockdown that I had time to myself to delve into my true writing roots with just my piano. It’s a song reflecting on my childhood, how magical everything was and how adulthood & the real world is a kind of kick in the teeth. I feel like that transition from magic to mayhem slips by you so fast and it’s all taken for granted. Jack Gourlay had reached out to me a few weeks after it was written so I took it into the studio to work on together…I think at the time I decided to record it I was inspired by a lot of the very delicate, almost cyclical ballads like ‘mad world’ and ‘hometown glory’ and wanted to keep the production in a similar realm. It’s the most pure and personal music I’ve made so far and I’m so excited to share it!”
Beth’s wondrous sound has been turning notable heads since her debut, catching the attention of BBC Introducing. Drawing influence from a wide range of artists including Eva Cassidy and Norah Jones, Beth’s delicate brand is undeniably captivating, so be sure to keep up to date with what this shining star reveals next.
