Soul duo GeeJay take on soul-pop brims with world class vocals, bright melodies and uplifting summery rhythms – all set to lyrics which often celebrate the positive aspects of day-to-day life. It has earned them a strong grassroots following, with 60 million streams and 600,000monthly listeners, while also building tastemaker support with airplay stretching across Radio 1, Radio 2, 1XTRA, Apple Music 1 andBBC Radio London alongside further praise from Clash and The Observer. Now the duo – vocalist Gina Jane and multi-instrumentalistJay Lobo – share their new single ‘My Baby’. Listen HERE.
‘My Baby’ is a song that surges with emotion, especially with the pure emotional feeling and expression that comes from Gina Jane’s already remarkable voice. It’s a simple, stripped-back, lullaby-esque piano melody accompanied by a luscious, affecting string arrangement and powerful lyrics: “No matter your age, no matter the year, no matter the times that we are living through… I’ll be with you, whatever you do.”
The song’s personal significance is heightened by its timing – the couple have just welcomed their second child into the world.
The natural good vibes of GeeJay reflect the duo’s back story. The two musicians and kindred spirits first met while working at the Music & Beans cafe in Haringey, when a random rota error accidentally scheduled them on the same shift. The staff would end the day with drinks and jam sessions in the space between the cafe, leading the pair to discover their shared musical connection and into a relationship.
Still entirely independent, GeeJay’s early releases such as ‘Flowers’ and ‘Stronger’ resulted in millions of streams, while famous fanFearne Cotton helped them reach a broader audience by including them in her ‘Happy Place’ compilation album alongside big names likeSam Fender and Emeli Sandé. These moments paved the way for the release of their debut album, ‘What’s the Sun Without the Rain?’, in 2024. Their word-of-mouth following is still growing, resulting in their biggest headline show far at the Islington Assembly Hall on November 20th.
