She's still lightyears ahead, just having a lot more fun this time around.
Like all the best pop albums, it doesn’t concern itself with being too clever, too cool or too serious, and it conveys that intent brilliantly: raising smiles, moving limbs, hearts aching for something more.
Georgia's new album is filled to the brim with dance touchstones, but with a polished pop sheen.
It’s not quite picture perfect, but ‘Seeking Thrills’ is Georgia’s jubilant and insightful document of the life that moves under the disco lights.
As an embodiment of where one of the UK’s most exciting voices is currently at, you couldn’t ask for much more.
Seeking Thrills is a sophisticated, emotionally complex pop effort that seems to encapsulate the London native's life experiences to date.
Full of energizing rhythms, buoyant beats, and memorable vocal melodies, Seeking Thrills is more than just a set of late-night bangers.
The singer and producer has absorbed Chicago house, Robyn-style pop and dub reggae, and refashioned them into an album about being ‘consumed by night’.
Drawing heavily on the Chicago house and Detroit techno of the Eighties, Seeking Thrills is a heady dose of sonic nostalgia.
This could prove to be one of the sleeper albums of the first months of the new decade, its blend of shamelessly club-ready bangers and astute, dance-history-observant studio-craft likely to please the electronic connoisseurs as much as the pop devotees.
The first great album of a new decade is one that promises to inspire a new generation of clubbers and hedonists with the joy of some of the most perfect pop you could ever hope to hear.
Towards the end, things start to blend together, but overall this is an album that one could play start to finish in a party setting and no one would mind.
Although Seeking Thrills is Georgia’s sophomore album, there is a freshness and originality that can only be manifested from pure passion.
Seeking Thrills is an artfully constructed yet instantly enjoyable tribute to dancefloor deliverance in all its forms.
When Georgia dives headfirst into dance music, as she does for much of Seeking Thrills, she finds her most exciting self.
The overwhelming result ... is an emotive work that, as the title suggests, leaves you permanently seeking thrills long after the initial listen.
As far as snapshotting the essence of that undeniably great feeling of stepping out with your mates and being at one with the dancefloor, Georgia has found that thrill we largely all seek out.
The huge themes and inspirations Georgia plays with in Seeking Thrills showcase a true rising star of British pop.
It's balanced, catchy and broad in scope. Each song stands out as its own unique piece of the puzzle, a quality that is easy to lose on electro-pop albums.
The stellar opening exchanges are mostly good enough to carry the album across the finish line and confirm that Georgia, five years after stepping into the limelight, is now more in control of her own sound than on her debut.
Seeking Thrills is at its best ... when heading full pelt through pop euphoria.
Seeking Thrills has the ascendent energy of an audition tape; brighter and less tentative than her self-titled 2015 debut, even its awkward moments convey earnest, self-taught sincerity.
On her second album, a rhythmic rush of club-pop, the London producer extols the merits of clean living and a clear head.
