In June Georgia will be releasing her 7th album, Finding Home, co-produced with pianist and composer  Kate Williams.

Over 2 years in the making, Finding Home, is a collection of songs, old and newly co-written, arranged for trio, string quartet and voice. From the tragedy of the refugee crisis to romantic spoken word groove, reworked classics from Chile, Brazil and the Great American Songbook and a focus on the natural world, loss and hope: Finding Home prompts many questions and delivers multiple answers.

The Finding Home Arts Council England assisted tour starts 21 March.
