Georgia Mooney from All Our Exes Live In Texas has released her debut solo single War Romance, a dramatic and expansive musing on love at the end of the world.
Talented Eora/Sydney-based musician, songwriter, singer, and presenter Georgia Mooney has made her highly anticipated solo debut with the release of War Romance, our first taste of her to-be-announce debut solo album.
Speaking about the single, Georgia Mooney shares: “I have always loved wartime films & novels for the way they portray relationships. When life is fragile and we are faced with our mortality on a daily basis, we cling to one another for comfort. Superficial problems fall away and the bonds of love feel extraordinarily strong and vital. It’s a bit melodramatic, but romantic and earnest too. Like standing on a cliff, clutching a letter, staring out to sea.”
The accompanying video features internationally renowned comedian Rhys Nicholson in their drag debut. War Romance is a cinematic masterpiece that showcases Georgia Mooney’s artistic talent as she muses about finding a lover to spend the end of the world with.
“Rhys is one of my closest friends,” shares Mooney, “and a praiseworthy performer of the distinguished lip-sync! By performing as each other, the video has a campness that matches the melodrama of the music. It lightens the heaviness of the lyrical sentiment and places us in a lush and timeless dreamscape that seeks only beauty. It was a truly wonderful day of filming where we both discovered the joy and liberation of drag. There was much giggling. But perhaps unsurprisingly, we quickly discovered that the most difficult scene to do was the one where we were playing ourselves.”
