Mercury Prize 2020: Synth-pop star Georgia on her nomination for Seeking Thrills and ‘life-changing’ year

dailystar.co.uk:

Hi Georgia. Congratulations on your shortlisting for the 2020 Mercury Prize for Seeking Thrills. How did it feel when you heard the news?“I was over the moon.

It was a dream come true. I think I put the idea of being up for the Mercury out of my head. I put out the first record back in 2015 and put a lot of expectations on that record perhaps getting the nod.“With this second record, my hopes were that people heard it.

I set my expectations quite low.“It was a very surreal, an ecstatic moment. A real sense of accomplishment and achievement. I put so much work behind this record.”You mentioned your first LP.

What did you learn from that process going into Seeking Thrills? What was your mindset like this time?“I think it was pure.
