New Zealand singer and songwriter Georgia Lines has just shared her brand new single Romeo, a synth-pop, stadium-ready anthem out now via August Avenue. 
 
A song about the tensions within a relationship, Romeo finds the talented artist leaning further into an infectious pop soundscape she has become synonymous with. I am particularly fond of how expressive and passionate her vocal delivery is, effortlessly connecting the listeners to her relatable storytelling that explores universal themes of relationship fantasies vs. realities. This message is wrapped around a memorable production that pairs layered vocals with stacked harmonies, 80s-inspired synths and hook-laden choruses that together create an overall feel-good, anthemic atmosphere. Check it out below!

 

 

Speaking about the song, Georgia Lines said, 
‘Romeo’ is about the reality of the tensions you can sometimes feel in a relationship and wanting the ease of the 'Romeo' fantasy. The track follows on from the pop era I have been in over the last little while. Following on from ‘Nothing But Love’ and ‘Monopoly’, ‘Romeo’ closes the pop chapter before launching into my debut album. ‘Romeo’ went through so many changes, so many versions, so many different versions of the choruses. At one stage we almost threw the baby out with the bathwater and deleted the entire chorus for a whole day. When we had a break and gained some sonic perspective/fresh ears, we realized “wait”; we’ve literally deleted everything that made the song so great!
