jo from school releases new song, "Weight"
jo from school — the moniker of singer-songwriter Jo Geller —has shared "Weight", the closing track from her upcoming EP, Grace, Flair & Distance.
"Weight" follows previous singles "Chicken" and "Julia Roberts" as the third preview of her debut EP, and arrives alongside a visualiser shot by Geller's sister, Grace, while they were on a family holiday in the Welsh countryside.
Speaking about the song, Geller explains: “This one was unique in that it was hard to keep writing, but [my producer] Rich knew it could be something. We understood that there was a fine line between supporting the songwriting and emphasising the parts that needed a push, and overdressing the song to a point where the rawness is covered up and lost. It was the first time he ‘pushed’ for me to continue with an idea - I’m very grateful he did. It’s a soft and heavy song, and my favourite to play live.”
Grace, Flair & Distance is released on 7 August via Chess Club Records
