Georgia Maq (Camp Cope) shares “Slightly Below the Middle” from new solo EP

Georgia Maq (formerly of Camp Cope) is releasing a new solo EP, God’s Favourite, due out September 4 via 1000 Rats. “Every release gets me closer to self actualisation, and God’s Favourite is the next big step for me,” she says. “Every time I release music, I look back at my catalogue and feel an urgent sense of shame and embarrassment – I feel different about this one though, Daniel Fox was a huge part of this, he’s my collaborator and one of my best friends and we bring such different things into the songs and he’s really helped me find myself through the music.”

“I want to acknowledge that I stopped singing in an Australian accent,” she adds. “Honestly, it was never really natural for me in the first place, I started singing when I was a kid in an American accent because I was brought up on country and bluegrass music (dad) and Cold Chisel (mum) and I feel like I’ve come back to that. I think maybe this EP is me connecting to my mum also, it was unintentional but I think the songs are letters I’m sending to her back home.”

God’s Favourite includes her recent single “Pay Per View,” and she’s shared a new single, “Slightly Below the Middle,” which adds a little twang to her powerful vocals and haunting lyricism. “This song is basically a conversation between me and whoever the boss of the Devil and God is,” she says. “I grew up listening to my dad play the fiddle part of ‘The Devil Went Down To Georgia’ and I always loved it because it says my name and I love hearing my name in a song.” Watch the video, directed by Ka5sh, below.

Georgia has a few CA shows coming up, and we recently caught her NYC show at Union Pool, which was with Rivkah Reyes on her birthday and featured all her new solo material. See pictures from that and all her upcoming dates below.
