Georgia Anne Muldrow 'The Worthnothings (EP)' album

Georgia Anne Muldrow is one of Stones Throw Records newest signings, and is the only female vocalist signed to the label. Inspired by solid '70s soul, free jazz and a bottom-heavy hip-hop thump, Georgia paints a unique musical canvas that has the underground stopping to gaze and take it all in. It’s just one 22-year old woman behind such a breadth of sonic expression – she does her own vocals, background vocals AND the beats.

Georgia springs from a family of creative musicians, whose roots run deep in the '60s and '70s progressive jazz scene: her father invented instruments for Eddie Harris, and her mother performed with Pharoah Sanders. Their innovation passed to their daughter, who approaches her labyrinth of keyboards, synthesizers and various instruments with a fresh perspective every time. She was noticed early on by fellow L.A. hip-hop trendsetters Sa Ra, as well as Detroit’s Platinum Pied Pipers – both of whom tapped her for collaborations. From there, the buzz brought Georgia’s sound to the airwaves of “Worldwide” with Gilles Peterson on the BBC, and naturally, to Peanut Butter Wolf, who signed her to a two-album deal on Stones Throw Records.

This EP is a perfect introduction to Georgia’s musical world. Previously only available in limited quanties, and sold primarily at her live shows, Stones Throw now offers Georgia’s calling card to the world.

"Capturing all the magical madness associated with the first warm days of spring, Georgia Anne Muldrow's 'Larva' brims with so much optimism and anxious energy that it barely contains itself. Muldrow composed and performed all of the music on her debut EP, Worthnothings. In light of her established alliances with other funk-forward groups (SA-RA Creative Partners, Platinum Pied Pipers), the gutsy ingenuity of 'Larva' isn't a surprise. It's just an enchanting moment from an enormously promising young talent."

"This is a great EP. Georgia is seriously multi-talented and she has such an evident amount of self-confidence that comes through in her music. It would have been very easy for Georgia to get pigeon-holed as an R&B singer by some wack A&R, but enter Stones Throw to give her the green light she so deserves. This EP is different than anything I've heard in a while and Georgia made the beats and sang on every track. She is just coming off of blessing three strong tracks on the Platinum Pied Pipers album, and here she stays with the soulfulness while turning left in beatland."

"Georgia Anne Mudrow's assimilation of classic soul, jazz and hip-hop is nothing less than innovative, imagine Chaka Khan produced by J-Dilla!"
