Singer-songwriter Royal Wood has spent several years perfecting his craft of balladry and pop music. His new album, The Waiting, appropriately begins with a song entitled “You Can’t Go Back.” And why would he? With each new release Royal Wood delivers another collection of honest tales of love, loss and life even more impressive than the last.

Vancouver singer-songwriter Hannah Georgas is the new love of your life – and she won’t break your heart. Her voice, bittersweet yet as spunky as an indie film heroine, will make you swoon as she sings about love, language and awkward situations.

 Just listen to the two sumptuous acoustic-pop songs on her split 7-inch with Mark Watrous (Shudder To Think, Gosling). The Deep End was inspired by daily phone conversations with one of her older sisters while Chit Chat recounts a recent dining experience with someone who wouldn’t shut up. 

“I do listen more than I speak,” says Hannah “I think that’s why I make a good songwriter. I was just watching home videos and I’m definitely the kid on the swing set, singing to myself. In university, I’d know the answer to questions and I would not put up my hand because I would be too scared to speak. Getting on stage, though, is completely different for me – that’s the best thing in the world. ”

Chit Chat and The Deep End are two of the tunes from her upcoming full-length debut, produced by Howard Redekopp and Ryan Guldemond, slated for release in March 2010. It’s a warm, whimsical collection of pop-roots songs, but it also offers a hint of Hannah’s secret life as a dancefloor diva.
