Single Review - The Devil Dealt Me You - Georgia Nevada

 


Famously, the Devil went down to Georgia, he was looking for a soul to steal.  It appears that the Devil went to Georgia Nevada and dealt her a wildcard.

We’re not sure when and why the Devil changed his style, and maybe we would rather have God deal the cards in the hope of winning ourselves an Angel!

Is love a gamble?  Should you take a risk, play high stakes for love?

With a surname matching the Las Vegas State, it is hardly a surprise that Georgia Nevada might acknowledge gambling influences in her music – and in her life!  Inspired by what can only be described as a gamble with her own love life The Devil Dealt Me You is about the risks we take in love

Opening with a with a crash of guitars, introducing Georgia’s southern influenced vocal the song is packed full of imagery.  Georgia’s voice has a rock edge to it, even in softer parts of the song you can sense the power and attitude just behind her words, and she uses that power throughout this track to emphasise her thoughts.

For such a new artist Georgia’s voice shows an incredible range and shows great control.  It is definitely more States that Stevenage, the town she left for love

Musically, the track is very well balanced and produced with backing and production by Drew Middleton.  The instruments give it a wonderfully country feel, supporting the vocal, but it is Georgia who sets the pace and the mood

The very title suggests that not only is love a gamble, but a gamble already containing quite a risk – but you sense that Georgia is able and confident enough that she can face this gamble, play her cards and win

going all in’s the name of the game

So did the Devil deal Georgia a demon card?  Or was the turn of the card the risk?  In her own life Georgia has taken a risk for love, so it looks like the Devil didn’t win this time.

When the Devil dealt me you he thought I’d fold just like I do

Lucky in cards and unlucky in love?  It seems that this has been the way for our plucky songstress/gambler in the past, but in cards and in love you sometimes have to turn the card and see what plays out

Not today Satan, not today!  The house doesn’t always win, even when the devil himself is trying to make you fold…

What card did the Devil deal?  Well, Georgia will tell us that it was the two of Hearts

The two of hearts, represents the fact that this is my second single, released in the second month of the year, and – naturally – the two hearts symbolise my partner and I

The Devil Dealt Me You was co written with Kyle Elliott who also has a new single dropping the same day as this one.

Even with the devil as the dealer, I’d not bet against Georgia enjoying success in love, in music and maybe even in cards!
