Meanjin/Brisbane singer-songwriter Georgia Scarlett opens a new chapter with her debut album ‘Rhythm of Life’, out Friday, November 28. Blending the intimacy of folk with the golden glow of country pop, she delivers an album that celebrates growth, self-discovery and the steady beat of time.
‘Rhythm of Life’ is an album about healing, reflection and the strength that comes from change. It captures the moments we rarely speak of, the ones that shape us when no one is watching. Across each song, Georgia moves from heartbreak to acceptance, finding meaning in the passage of time and in the beauty of all the lessons. Speaking on the album, Georgia states:
"It reflects the gradual realisation of your own strength and the truth that, no matter how difficult the path, you have arrived exactly where you were meant to be. Because time, in all its power, shapes everything."
From tender, stripped-back folk ballads to warm, full-band country pop, ‘Rhythm of Life’ begins in intimate spaces, with Georgia’s voice and guitar, before ebbing and flowing with lively rhythms, glowing harmonies and rich textures of banjo, slide guitar, harmonica and fiddle.
The album opens with ‘My Love’, a tender acoustic ballad that captures the ache of holding on after goodbye, Georgia’s voice resting gently over soft guitar. ‘Can’t Stop Time’ follows suit as a classic, sad-girl breakup track that is bittersweet, honest and vulnerable. The title track ‘Rhythm of Life’ introduces the full band, its steady drums and glowing harmonies carrying the first stirrings of the ebb and flow of life.
'Fake Profile’ lifts the pace but carries a melancholic feel with rambling electric guitar lines, and a playful yet poignant look at the faces people wear when love fades. ‘Not Forgotten’ pares everything back to acoustic simplicity, a heartfelt ode to those who remain in memory even after life moves on. ‘Bookworm’ then brings a touch of twang and self-awareness, sliding between overthinking and acceptance with warmth and wit.
From there, ‘More Than a Smile’ radiates confidence and freedom, an upbeat country shuffle that dances through the art of letting go. ‘Watering Can’ turns inward, opening with spoken word, Georgia is joined by gliding strings, reminding us to stop tending what no longer grows. ‘Nothing More to Talk About’ sways with gentle pop textures and calm resolve, while ‘Cursive’ expands into a full-band bloom that feels like finding clarity after confusion. Closing with ‘Finding My Destination’, Georgia brings it all home in a golden burst of country pop that is warm, hopeful and full of life.
