'More Than A Smile' Single Launch - Georgia Scarlett

After serenading us with heartfelt country-folk storytelling, Brisbane-based artist Georgia Scarlett returns with her most spirited release yet. ‘More Than A Smile’, out May 19, is the final single before the launch of her highly anticipated debut album, Rhythm of Life.Serving up the sassiest friendship breakup anthem of the year, ‘More Than A Smile’ skips the sorrow and leans into liberation. Where others may spiral into bitterness, Scarlett beams with a bright-eyed resilience, delivering a song that dances on the line between cheeky and empowering. It’s for anyone who’s been hurt but decided to dance anyway.A joyful arrangement of twanging banjo lines, warm harmonica swells, and a feel-good group singalong brings this track to life — echoing the song’s core message: surround yourself with those who make you feel whole. There’s no bitterness here, just a heartfelt “oh well” wrapped in melody. “It has that carefree, almost cheeky feel to it,” Scarlett says. “It’s about realising someone wasn’t good for you anymore — and instead of being angry, you just smile, let go, and move on. There’s power in that.”With her debut album just around the corner, Georgia Scarlett is proving she’s got more than a smile — she’s got stories, soul, and a whole lot of spark.Georgia Scarlett creates intimate spaces for listeners to immerse in storytelling through her ethereal voice and unique musical tapestry. Behind her Aussie roots, Georgia blends her many musical influences such as the addictive American folk banjo, Irish waltz feel, and Celtic vocal magic. Accompanied by guitar, a 12 set of harmonicas, a big personality, and her dynamic live band, Georgia captivates audiences with electrifying stage performances.To celebrate the release, Georgia and her band are putting on a single release show on the 23rdof May at The Brightside alongside local legends, Ari Isabella Trio and Of The Wild Duo.
