triple j Unearthed icon G Flip announces debut album, 'About Us'

Melbourne multi-instrumentalist G Flip is on track to make 2019 her year, announcing the release of her highly-anticipated debut album, About Us.

Over the last year, it’s been practically impossible to escape the energy, catchy songs, and stunning performances showcased by Georgia Flipo – better known as G Flip.

After catching the attention of triple j Unearthed listeners thanks to her song ‘About You’, G Flip made her live debut, before continuing to stun us at every turn with tracks like ‘Killing My Time’ and ‘Drink Too Much’.

Now, it’s time for this stunning musician to release her debut record, announcing About Us earlier today.

“I thought about releasing an album a lot growing up,” G Flip explained in a statement. “I would sit in the lounge room holding dad’s record collection in awe, I was intrigued, I wanted my own.

“It’s a big moment, I’m super stoked to drop my debut.”

To get fans in the mood for the new release, G Flip has also unveiled her latest single, ‘Stupid’. Speaking of the tracks on the record, the talented muso explained that the songs might not have even seen the light of day at first.

“I wrote so many songs about my on-and-off relationship,” she explains. “I hadn’t seen this girl in a year, so when we caught up at the end of 2017, she asked me what I’ve been doing and I told her I had written a heap of songs, and that I was going to try it out as a solo musician now.

“I showed her all the songs and asked her one important question; ‘Would you care if I released these because they’re all about us?’ Luckily she didn’t mind, otherwise out of respect to her, this music would never have seen the light of day. So it made perfect sense to call my debut album About Us.”

Released on August 30th through Future Classic, About Us is set to be launched at a very secret event in Melbourne for friends, family, and a few lucky fans.

Anyone who pre-orders the record can be in with a chance to score flights, accomodation, and a VIP meet & greet at the event, which will feature a special performance from G Flip as well. Check out all the details about the comp – including how to enter – here.

G Flip is currently set to perform a few performances in the US (including a slot at Chicago’s Lollapalooza), before heading home to perform at triple j’s One Night Stand, Perth’s Sound On Festival, and the Spilt Milk Festival in Canberra and Ballarat.
