Georgie Benz’s latest single, “Curious”, is an intimate dive into the emotional turbulence of unrequited connection. With a balance of vulnerability and strength, the London-born, LA-based singer-songwriter captures the essence of longing for a deeper relationship, only to face the cold reality of unmet expectations. It’s a song that invites one into a world of emotional complexities, where the hope for reciprocity slowly dissolves into a bittersweet realisation.
The production is understated but effective, leaving room for Georgie’s rich, emotive voice to take centre stage. The contrast between the warmth of her vocals and the cool restrained instrumentals mirrors the contrast in the lyrics, where affection is met with distance.
What makes “Curious” stand out is its ability to feel deeply personal while touching on something universally understood. The desire for mutual curiosity and the ache when it’s absent. Georgie said that the song was born from a real-life experience of imagining someone she wanted to know on a deeper level but only to be left with the sinking realisation that they never shared the same interest. That blend of hope, frustration, and acceptance comes through in every note, making the song feel like a private confession.
It’s the honesty of “Curious” that strikes the hardest. Georgie doesn’t shy away from the messy emotions tied to a relationship that’s both meaningful and unbalanced, describing the other person as both the villain and the saviour. Someone who can never fully be categorised into one box. This ambiguity, this rawness, is what makes Georgie’s songwriting so captivating.
As the third single leading up to her debut EP, “Curious” solidifies Georgie Benz as an artist unafraid to share her deepest reflections, and as someone who can make the deeply personal feel accessible to anyone listening. “Curious” is not just a song to hear but a conversation about the complexity of human connection
