Georgia Lines, an independent New Zealand singer-songwriter, stamps her signature on the music landscape in 2023 with her first single of the year, Monopoly. With a sound harking back to the infectious vibes of the 80s and 90s R&B-pop music, the track is a testament to Lines’ adeptness in blending genres, resulting in a striking and danceable anthem.
Anchored by an irresistible bassline, punchy drum hits, and a captivating groove, Monopoly rekindles the unforgettable aura of pop’s golden era while infusing it with Lines’ soulful flair. The harmonies will resonate with listeners as the infectious rhythm of the track sets in.
In Lines’ own words, the sonic landscape of Monopoly exists “where Prince meets Haim, layered with MJ stacked vocals“, creating a unique and irresistible fusion that promises to resonate with fans of these iconic artists.
The narrative behind Monopoly is as captivating as the track’s infectious melody. Lines shares a vivid memory of playing Monopoly as a child during a camping trip, drawing parallels between the sudden twists of the game and life’s unpredictable turns. This unexpected loss and emotional meltdown during her childhood game translate into a rich, relatable song narrative.
Monopoly is the result of a collaboration with Finnish-American producer, songwriter, and musician Jussi Ilmari Karvinen, also known as Jussifer. Known for working with artists like Kelly Clarkson, Demi Lovato, Ellie Goulding, and Bebe Rexha, Jussifer’s influence on the track contributes to its vibrant and engaging sound.
The music video for Monopoly echoes the song’s energetic spirit. Originally planned as a visualizer, the excitement of the filming process led to a full-fledged video complete with bright colors and dance party vibes, perfectly encapsulating the fun-loving spirit of the track.
