Twin Shadow: Georgie
Briefly

George Lewis Jr., known as Twin Shadow, has crafted 'Georgie', an introspective alt-R&B album that marks a significant career shift. After a decade of seeking mainstream success and releasing pop-inspired music, Lewis chose to strip away the commercial elements, opting for a more honest expression of his artistry. The album, which reflects personal themes including grief from his father's recent passing, showcases Lewis's return to his roots with minimal instrumentation, encapsulating his deepest emotions. This effort serves as both a creative reset and a heartfelt exploration of identity and loss.
Georgie isn't just a palate cleanser-it's a bar of soap in your mouth. Lewis strips away the kitschy pop artifice and turns inward.
After releasing a pair of spectacular albums in the early 2010s, Lewis looked poised to become an indie rock darling à la Ezra Koenig.
