The debut studio album from Georgia Lines, ‘The Rose of Jericho’ is a ten-track album touching on grief, loss, heartache, as well as joy and lightness.
The album is named for a plant that has come to symbolise rebirth and hope due to its seemingly magical ability to come back to life.
She told RNZ that the last few years have left her feeling like a Rose of Jericho herself.
"I am [also] in the process of coming back to life, remembering things that were lost and all of the things associated with that … my record was the rose inside."

Speaker 1 (00:07):
You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Team podcast
from News Talks it b there aren't any words anymore
as you work to the tracks you said was getting
last day. The pain.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Makes mean no one the reasonably Brook to your cous
return to gray.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
This is the lasting the minute. This is Georgia Lines.
She's got a new album called The Rose of Jericho.
That song is called the Letter. She just has such
a good voice. She is amazing.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Music review a Stelle cliff It has been listening to
the album She's with her skelter. Oh that just got
me in the fields, does doesn't it.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:03):
You know when you instantly listen to something and you think, whoa,
they have been through a lot since the last time
when we spoke. Yeah yeah, and just putting it all
right out there, and such visual lyrics that she gives
us the whole as you empty the drawers. Love's getting
lost in the Pain. I'm like far orout. It feels
(01:23):
like you're at that moment where it all came tumbling
down and someone's walking out the door. And then you
also put that, like you said, her voice is absolutely
incredible and this album is an absolute pure showcase of
everything she can do with her voice where sometimes it's
like deep and low and rich and just really down
at this level, and then it grows into almost like
(01:46):
a theme song from a film or something, you know,
like they just grow into these really big the ones
where she's used the orchestral backing. She really has just
flown into these big, huge, all encompassing songs. I actually
think it's kind of weird with Georgia Lynes to say
that this is her debut album because she's released so
(02:07):
many incredible singles. She has been on both of the
Tola hen Air tours and she's released incredible singles from that.
She's been over to South by South What's Southwest by South?
There we go. There's a place right in Texas where
(02:28):
they do this show, and she's been there like six
or seven times. So she's got this really great traction
for live shows and what she's releasing. But finally this
whole full body of work outside the EPs, and it
is a real journey. I just again right from the
first list and I'm like bloomin eck. She's she's been
going through a lot. There's this palpable heartache, very vulnerable,
(02:53):
and I think that's incredible for an artist to be
able to deliver that in a space where you know
other people are now going to take hold of that
and go, hey, what's going on? At times? Is that
real goosebumpy skin? And I love of the the orchestral arrangements,
but they have these heavy keys or heavy basslines that
will go underneath it, so it gives it that kind
(03:13):
of almost atmospheric hum behind some of the songs. Yeah,
visual as well, and sometimes it's just a girl at
a piano pouring her heart out and that's incredible too.
And then you get into I think this is the
great thing. There's real light and shade in the album,
so it's not all gonna it's not all gonna keep
you down there in the in the sorrow in the dark.
(03:36):
There's also some real light and some real jams on here.
You're gonna play one of those so naturally where I
just it's almost got like an eighties pop sort of
okay yeah once again, kind of a synth sort of
in the background, and it's got pacey drums and the
songs called say You Say You Still, and it's just
(03:56):
again her real clever lyrics that just they're quite relatable
and they draw you in with how she delivers them,
and I think, again, she's just really played with her
vocals and how she's put those into you know, the
melodic where she changes pace sometimes isn't quite where you'd
think it would go, but it's such a catchy way
of doing things that you can't help just getting along
(04:19):
with the song, like only I've listened to this album
a few times through the week, and I feel very
familiar with it already, and I think that says a
lot for songwriting and melodies and being really catchy, really
tingly do it with tests. I mean, you just know,
once you hear his dulcet tones on a song, you're
just gonna melt right, yeah, And it's yeah, that's near
(04:40):
the end of the album, so that sort of comes
on and you're like, whoa, hang on, I thought we'd
done all the emotional lails, but yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
It really is.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
I think it's gonna be an epic one to see
her perform live, and it'll be really interesting to see
whose storytelling and interviews when she, you know, releases such
an album that's clearly full of so much of her
own heart Heart on Sleeve it's out there. How she
never gates, then, I suppose, and then the delivery when
it comes into live gigs. If you are in to
(05:12):
tonight she's at Street possibly that's already sold out. It
is the album, so it could already have been gone
because it's your hometown too. She's been picked up by
the same big talent agent who looks after little bands
like Coldplay and m GMT. Yeah. I think I think
apage to her. Yeah, I think Larry Whitman was kind
(05:32):
of like, oh I look after these guys. You might
have heard of them. I mean, I'm sure Georgia was
willing to just say the same, like, yeah, okay, so
what did you give it? Why did you give music
a great lesson? Yea the Rise of dera co rebirth,
refinding Yourself. It's a it's a clean sing out of team.
(05:54):
This is a stunning album. Yeah good, all right, Yeah, okay,
we're gonna we can listen to it again in a
couple of minutes. Thank you so much to.
