George Riley’s ‘Move’ Taps Into The Energies Of Liberation

Watch the striking video now...

London force George Riley is intensely aware of the cultural context her art operates in.

A Black female voice in a UK music scene that remains stubbornly patriarchal, and infuriatingly white, she speaks her truth with a passionate eloquence.

New single 'Move' is part of this process, a biting, soulful exploration of the energies that underpin liberation.

It's a work informed by these past few months, and through watching – as she puts it – "white people wake up to racial inequality in real time…"

Out now, it's a crisp return, in which George Riley's fantastic voice is placed in a fresh setting by producer Oliver Palfreyman.

Amy DMB directs the full visuals, which perfectly illuminate the feelings and themes within George Riley's lyricism.

Tune in now.
