Civilize Us - residential school song

Georgina Taylor - What Child Is This

Georgina is an unsigned British recording artist.  Born in England, she moved to Australia as a child prior to moving to Canada. Georgina is currently working on her debut album Bonfire Baby. 


Reviews: “I love the qualities of the beats and bass in "hunting the fox", it's there in "I'm Content" and throughout these tunes..listening to you is like being pursued by Peter Gabriel, Bat 4 Lashes and Kate Bush into a fairytale forest populated by characters from a Guillermo DelToro film. Just absolutely love the drama and intention..and the way each song is a painting of a character and a story. Very accesible and very achievable’. (Mike White presents)
