Paterson is the latest incarnation of Welsh singer/songwriter Georgia Paterson. Inspired by such classic and contemporary artists as <a href="spotify:artist:70cRZdQywnSFp9pnc2WTCE" data-name="Simon &amp; Garfunkel">Simon &amp; Garfunkel</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6AnjHMqEAps8VJdHU8RykH" data-name="Imelda May">Imelda May</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:371jpyGdoChzUASOIG2ECV" data-name="Ashley McBryde">Ashley McBryde</a>, and her all-time idols <a href="spotify:artist:4wM29TDTr3HI0qFY3KoSFG" data-name="Indigo Girls">Indigo Girls</a> (who she was thrilled to make a guest appearance with on their last UK tour), Paterson creates quirky Americana/Country-influenced acoustic music brimming with emotional intimacy.

The new single “<a href="spotify:album:2nPP0Uk6bPIHTRFRP7q6Zc" data-name="Like An Apple">Like An Apple</a>” (from the upcoming album Under Your Skin) has been causing controversy ever since Paterson started playing it live. It quickly became known as ‘the raunchy one’ at her regular livestream - immediately branded as ‘filth’ by some! Recently invited to perform at a beautiful Church, Paterson was expressly told not to include it, and having started playing some festivals this year, she has been forced to examine whether the song is family-friendly.

“I don’t want to be provocative for the sake of it. This song is important to me as an unashamed, authentic, portrayal of sexual intimacy between two women. Female pleasure is still woefully underrepresented in popular culture, particularly the experience of lesbians and older women. It does seem to divide opinion - I accept that it&#39;s risqué but in my opinion it&#39;s very tame compared to lots of modern music. It does seem to be having an impact on people, which I’m thrilled about! &#x1f34e;
