George Riley announces forthcoming project, More Is More
Shepherd’s Bush-raised musician George Riley has announced her forthcoming project, More Is More, alongside the release of new track, "More".
More Is More’s concept was shaped by ideas of excess: digital overwhelm, hyper-consumption, public image and the messy contradictions of desire. Riley reflected the thoughts she had on these themes via a vision of a woman replete with tensions: “she’s smart and owns a lot of books, but has she read all the books? She’s fashionable, but is it performative or actually authentic to her?”
It’s part self-portrait, part satire – a caricature drawing from personal experience of relationships, temptation, ambition. It stemmed from “wanting more of everything, wanting more of my life, my career. Whatever success you have is never enough, there’s always something else.”
The forthcoming project follows 2021's interest rates, a tape, 2022’s Running In Waves, and Un/limited Love which came out in 2023, as well as collaborations with SBTRKT, Sampha, John FM, and Hudson Mohawke.
