Murray & The Movers release smouldering new interpretation of the timeless classic “I Put A Spell On You”.

Murray & The Movers cast a spell with their smouldering new interpretation of the timeless classic “I Put A Spell On You.”

Rather than choosing between the iconic versions by Nina Simone and Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, Murray & The Movers bring both influences together, placing Simone’s smoky intimacy and Hawkins’ untamed theatricality in the same sonic room.

The result is a seductive late-night blues-jazz performance that may leave listeners convinced that Murray & The Movers were always destined to be a torch, soul and classic jazz band.

A standout feature is the extraordinary double bass work of Phil Stack from Thirsty Merc. Playing a 140-year-old European upright bass, Stack delivers a performance full of warmth, depth and character, his instrument becoming an irresistible presence throughout the recording.

Recorded with the restraint and confidence of a classic jazz session, “I Put A Spell On You” embraces space, mood and atmosphere, allowing every note to linger.

For the full listening experience, pour your drink of choice, settle into your favourite chair, find the best speakers you own, and let the spell take hold.

Georgia VanNewkirk Turns a Summer Spark Into a Dreamy Indie-Pop Escape With “CRUSH”

Published

on

Some crushes last forever. Some are just meant to become your favourite memory. Georgia VanNewkirk captures that sweet spot between excitement, nostalgia, and “what if?” on her dreamy new indie-pop single “CRUSH”.

A hazy love letter to fleeting moments, the track dives into the magic of a connection that feels bigger than life — even if you don’t know where it’s going. With shimmering vocals, cinematic textures, and a touch of summer-night nostalgia, “CRUSH” feels like city lights, spontaneous adventures, and staying up way too late because you’re not ready for the moment to end.

Born from a season of heavier songwriting, the track arrived as a breath of fresh air. After spending weeks exploring heartbreak and intense emotions, Georgia found herself inspired by a completely different feeling: the thrill of meeting someone new and the rush of believing anything could happen.

But “CRUSH” isn’t really about one person, it’s about the feeling itself. The butterflies, the daydreaming, the way a few unforgettable moments can stay with you long after the story changes.

Known for creating entire creative worlds around her music, Georgia brings her background in directing, photography, styling, and visual design into every release. Her songs don’t just tell stories but they create places to step into.

With help from producer Corey Campbell and drummer Jake Cochran of Illiterate Light, “CRUSH” becomes a joyful, glowing reminder that not every connection needs to last forever to matter.

Sometimes the magic is in the moment. Sometimes the best stories are the ones you never saw coming.

And sometimes… it’s just a crush.
