Georgia Maria is an acoustic performer with the spirit of a hard rock artist. Her brand of folk rock is full blooded, loaded with a verve and energy that turns slow moving ballads into full throttled menacing pieces of rock n roll. On ‘Wont You?’, her slow burn ballad moves with an ominously foreboding till it crescendos into a massive unwinding, a cathartic explosion and release of electric guitars that coincide with the pulsating and thundering percussive build out as well as her tension building repetition of the chorus.
It’s in the tension of the chorus, ‘Honey, why won’t you dance with me?’, that Maria builds the song up with such a focused and purposeful passion that you can’t help but be sucked into this electric masterpiece. The folksy and acoustic introduction soon give way to fiery and intoxicatingly speedy electric solos in a full fledged rock n roll ensemble in the final section. Georgia Maria isn’t you everyday folk rock singer, she’s a full throttle rock n roll star in the making.
