HOT NEW R&B ARTIST TEAMS WITH SONGWRITER FRANCESKA

London, September 2018: Upcoming new UK R&B artist Georgie Kay has teamed up with longtime SongLink subscriber and international multi-platinum award-winning songwriter Franceska Aeschlimann, whose credits include Russian superstar Valeriya (Billboard Russia #1, No. 3 UK Dance Charts), Petula Clark, Jermaine Jackson, Mario Frangoulis, and W-inds Japan. She has also co-written with Chris Eaton (Cliff Richard etc), late Queen producer David Richards, George De Angelis (Seal), Rob Fusari (Lady Gaga), Ronan Park, Amino Idris, and most recently multi-platinum producer Darren Martyn at his studio in East Croydon on the Georgie Kay tracks.

Some of Darren's UK previous collaborations include Tinie Tempah, Ironik, Kele Le Roc and Shola Ama, while he describes this new collaboration as an "amazing experience. Georgie's vocal ability is great and I'm excited about the songs," he says. "We all just clicked and created some magic. Georgie is super likeable with a long career ahead of her in the industry." The singer is poised to set the charts alight with her upcoming urban pop EP, which will feature the single 'Respect, due for release next year. The anthemic track follows in the footsteps of Georgie's first single 'Black Mamba', which featured as BBC Introducing's 'Banger tune of the evening' and was described by 'Like A Boss' girls' magazine as "the type of voice made for serving up bold and powerful lyrics-and she uses it."

Georgie adds, "my new single 'Respect' is exactly the message I've been wanting to get across to my fans to always respect yourself and stand up for what you believe in." 'Respect' delivers exactly what it says on the tin with the same fabulous punch of female power invoking the spirit of the late great Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin. Meanwhile industry veteran Franceska couldn't have wished for a better collaboration, hitting it off from the get-go, saying, "I'm amazed at Georgie's vocal abilities, and am delighted that the new songs have huge hit potential as Darren is such an amazing producer." Manager Amelia McCloskey anticipates that labels will be fighting to sign her as the UK's hottest new urban act.

In addition, Darren Martyn has recently written and published a book for beginners in the industry entitled the 'Guide for Artists, Songwriters and Producers'. Darren has previously signed two major publishing deals with Warner Chappell and Bucks Music where he realised his vision for the development of others. He has been involved in breakthrough records including Sadie Ama 'Falling', M.O 'Dance On My Own', Fugative 'Summertime', Tom Zanetti feat Sadie Ama 'You Want Me', to name just a few. In addition, he has written and produced many records in S.E. Asia which have achieved millions of sales units.
