TORONTO, ON – February 18, 2022 – George Alice has sent her highly anticipated debut EP, Growing Pains, out into the world today. The EP contains singles Hold On, Mid Years, Teenager, Stuck in a Bubble and her triple j unearthed high winning track Circles. To date the tracks from the EP have amassed over 25 million streams combined. Listen here.
The EP was produced by Gab Strum, Ethan Gruska (Phoebe Bridgers, Remi Wolf) and Xavier Dunn and says George of the EP: “I like to think of the Growing Pains EP as a passport of my teenage years. every place I’ve been, emotion or journey I’ve been through has been stamped in this body of work in just a few songs. I think it was really important for me to put these songs out now, I waited until the time felt right. I’ve grown so much over these past few years, this EP is definitely a reflection was who I wanted to be when I was younger and I think that’s really special to be putting out for everyone to hear. Growing up is never easy, I’d be lying if I said differently, but it has been incredible getting to capture those moments in these songs.
It’s a bite size piece of work that showcases everything I’ve been since I was 15, to hear the songs I’ve been playing at my shows for the last few years and the songs that really made me fall in love with making music.”
Focus track today, Haunted, is a slow burning ode to lost love with expansive vocals and intoxicating melodies.
George Alice will hit the road on a headline tour taking in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and her hometown Adelaide this coming May before she hits the Splendour in the Grass stage in July.
