George Barnett

“George is one song from song away from Superstardom.”

 -  Tom Robinson, BBC 6Music

“…a spellbinding dose of alt-pop…” - Variance Magazine

“…electrifying…” -  The Line of Best Fit

George Barnett prepares to immerse listeners with his latest collection of innovative, alt-pop vignettes. His EP Make It Rain is out on 28th August 2020 via AntiFragile Music.

Throughout the EP, George’s undeniable charisma shines through. From the alluring dark-pop sensibilities of I Want You and Parasite, to the poignant rock ballad charms of Baba O’Riley and Make It Rain, George is a constant powerhouse with distinctly honeyed vocals in tow. Talking about the EP, George explains, “half of this EP was made at the start of lockdown. The other half was made a few months into lockdown when I'd had a slow epiphany about what I really wanted to do as a musician. I can tell the difference in the songs, it will be interesting to see if anyone else can. Either way, with all songs I had the same heart. The real power of music is to transform. It can elate, it can make you fall in love, it can make you remember, it can make you forget, but it also has to take you somewhere that makes you not just feel, but want to act on that feeling. I hope all the songs do that. ”

Now, signed to acclaimed label AntiFragile Music, George prepares to entrance listeners further with his latest compilation of cathartic alt-pop. Under his previous moniker of AKA George, George has already received support from the likes of The Line of Best Fit, Clash, Pop Justice and Variance Magazine, as well as BBC 6Music’s Tom Robinson. All of George’s previous releases have been supported by BBC Introducing’s Adam Crowther, Andrew Marston and Huw Stephens and his previous single i want you was featured as Song of The Week on BBC Radio Wales with Janice Long. George has also been included on Spotify’s New Music Friday UK, US, Norway, Denmark and Iceland editorial playlists, as well as The Other List, Walk Like A Badass and Indie Pop to name a few. George also headlined Glastonbury’s BBC Introducing Silverhayes stage in 2017.
