How many tea bags are you supposed to put in a teapot?
2
Well, two if we're having two cups of tea.
3
Can you get the...
4
Can you get the mugs?
5
The mugs.
6
The mugs?
7
Right here.
8
Can you get the mugs?
9
Today, Georgia, Uh-huh.
10
We're going to have a cup of tea.
11
We are.
12
Just normal English breakfast tea.
13
This is technically us not being able to meet up at each other's houses.
14
So having to find, like, a house in the middle of where we live.
15
How long did it take you to get here?
16
This is like a 20 minute.
17
It took me an hour.
18
Really?
19
So it's not in the middle.
20
It took you an hour to get here?
21
Mm-hmm.
22
What was you driving in?
23
Uber.
24
When did you move out of Yams?
25
When I was 18.
26
18?
27
Yeah.
28
Straight to London.
29
But before that, so when I was 15, I would come up to...
30
So I met my manager, he saw a video of me on YouTube.
31
Yeah.
32
I got someone sent it to him.
33
And then he came to meet me and my dad in Nando's.
34
Yeah.
35
Back at home in Warsaw.
36
And he was like, I'd like...
37
I'd like to set up some sessions with me.
38
And then, so I was like, I don't want to go to uni.
39
And I'm doing so much work in, well, I'm writing loads in London as well as at home.
40
I'm a manager in London.
41
I may as well move here.
42
So I asked my aunt and uncle, can I move here?
43
And I got a Starbucks transfer because I worked at Starbucks.
44
Moved up and like, I worked in Starbucks like four times a week.
45
Then I'd write, go home.
46
But I'd literally, I didn't have any friends.
47
I just like, like people forget I'm from Warsaw.
48
Yeah.
49
West Midlands.
50
When I talk more, my accent does come out, so...
51
But I'm not from London, so for me to even be where I am now is crazy.
52
Because when I was growing up, all I thought was, like, how lucky...
53
Like, I used to watch some stuff from people going to the Brit school, and I'm like, I want to be there, I want to do that.
54
I couldn't, because I didn't live there.
55
I want to order some food, and then I want to go and sit down properly.
56
What food?
57
What's the vibe?
58
You could just do pizza.
59
Do you like pizza?
60
Yeah.
61
Yeah.
62
My favourite pizza is a margarita pizza with just pepperoni and sweet corn.
63
I don't like sweet corn.
64
But we can do that.
65
No, it's OK.
66
No, it's no. I don't mind it.
67
We'll go halves and halves.
68
OK.
69
OK?
70
Mm-hm.
71
I was thinking about like what's going to happen after your album comes out
72
and then who you're going to be and like where you're going to live
73
and are you going to do like an Adele and like just go live in a mansion quietly and not go anywhere?
74
Or are you going to be like at Carnival?
75
I don't even know.
76
It's a what if.
77
My dad said he never answers what if questions.
78
I try and avoid certain times.
79
When it's really busy, I won't be like...
80
When school kids come out?
81
Yeah.
82
That happened the other day.
83
I was leaving my house to get an Uber.
84
My Uber was there and I hate making Uber's way.
85
And then these girls went, it's Georgia.
86
So I ran back in the house.
87
And I got someone else to go out and they were just hovering.
88
And then they were outside my house going, outside my house going, should we knock on her door?
89
It's just, eh.
90
I feel the same.
91
Yeah.
92
Because I think I'll be out sometimes with my brother, and sometimes he's cool and sometimes he just wants to be left alone.
93
But I'm like, Jamie, you don't understand.
94
This could be the only time they're ever going to see you.
95
And I know what it feels like, pick anyone, Eminem, I know what it feels like to have listened to someone over and over again.
96
When you hear a certain song by them, it literally makes you feel a certain way
97
or like takes you back to a certain time
98
and then you see them
99
and you're like nah bro like I gotta say something yeah it is
100
that feeling of like you must have had that with someone no actually
101
if Amy was still here what would you do would you go
102
and speak to her yes 100% yeah that's probably the only
103
person you'd be like I have to talk to you like
104
but I'd like I'd suss it out first like see what
105
she's on should I approach yet what are you protective over
106
not protective of everything i just think more a lot of
107
people watching me now they don't even see everything in life
108
yeah it's proper scary i have nearly a million followers really on instagram that's weird
109
when i moved to london i had about 500 yeah
110
weird nearly a million
111
and that's like it's quite a lot do you know who janet mock is no
112
so janet mock is um this really amazing woman actually she's written i think she's written two
113
or three books
114
and she talks about this thing called the pretty privilege of like people act like it doesn't exist
115
but it does i remember when i was watching
116
that um my podcast my favorite podcast ever
117
and i was like georgia they're talking about you in the podcast
118
and you was like what did they say and i was like drake
119
and that you're pretty and he was like but i'm an artist first
120
and i was like yeah that must be really frustrating yeah do you get worried that people
121
don't listen to you for the right reasons.
122
A load of Twitter don't even know I make music. So much.
123
They just think I'm a pretty person.
124
Yeah.
125
Thing is, when I first put up my first song, there was nothing.
126
There was no image.
127
There was no image.
128
So I was like, well, I know that people listen to Blue Lights because they like the song, they like what it meant, they like my voice.
129
But it is true, pretty privilege.
130
And we have this, there was some George Smith versus colourism.
131
Oh, yeah.
132
Debate.
133
I understand.
134
I get it.
135
I'm a conversation starter.
136
it's fine people like i said people are always gonna say something you know
137
and then we have this all you're light-skinned that's growing up
138
through school like really yeah you know did you have those
139
mixed-race friends i had one yeah i went to school with
140
majority white kids okay no i didn't want to have lips
141
i didn't want to have a bum i wanted to be
142
skinny i did actually get quite skinny at one point
143
because i thought you know my friends are blonde and skinny
144
and they have long hair i had like huge extensions
145
because i just didn't think i fitted in yeah but But back at school, I used to have a Tash.
146
I probably have one now.
147
A what?
148
Mustache. Did you?
149
I still have one before I get it done.
150
A lot of people picked on me for that.
151
People used to call me Tash all the time.
152
But I got over it.
153
My mum wouldn't let me get it removed.
154
Why?
155
Probably because she wanted me to go through something.
156
Some kind of stress to be like, you know what, Georgia?
157
But people are not nice.
158
But you know, the pretty privilege is to watch all through history.
159
Yeah.
160
I noticed that your album was called Lost and Found, and then I was listening to all the songs, and I was like,
161
There really is this through line in every song of someone who is feeling a certain way
162
or has experienced something and having this moment of saying,
163
of accepting that they feel that way and then like the next song maybe will be I don't feel that way anymore.
164
Always.
165
For Lost and Found, that was one of the early songs I wrote
166
when I would come up to London with my big suitcase
167
and then have to go back home like a couple of days after.
168
And I remember the first time I went to Notting Hill
169
and I had this big suitcase because I was going back home after the session.
170
And I just remember thinking, I'm such a small girl in this city, quite lost.
171
But I'm on my way to write a song.
172
I know exactly what I'm doing.
173
The next day I'll be confused.
174
About something else?
175
Yeah.
176
It sums me up very well.
177
Lost and found.
178
I think it does.
179
You really like singing, don't you?
180
Yeah.
181
I can tell.
182
I've always sang my dad used to send me out the
183
living room i used to get sent out the loo that's
184
on a regular they were watching x factor i get sent
185
out to my room just for making just for singing yes
186
did you ever think about going on x factor uh
187
or any like you go i go back home now to warsaw
188
and people are like you should go next
189
because i mean i guess i don't really know what i'm up to
190
but apparently i should still go an x-factor in the audition
191
why don't you try to do an x-factor i'm like no
192
um i i did want to i used to be
193
so jealous of those 17 year olds on there yeah let's go back to blue lights
194
which for many people including you was where it all started i took media for a levels and part of
195
the coursework let's give yourself a question to do something in media I chose post-colonialism in grind music.
196
Okay.
197
That's what I chose.
198
I don't even spell what you just said.
199
No, but funnily, I looked at Jamie's documentary for Form 696.
200
696, right, okay.
201
I was looking at Getz's video to rebel, rebel with a cause, I think.
202
And it begins with a little black kid watching the TV and I think David Cameron has given a speech and like, I think my 17-year-old son,
203
I've been like, this is him being brainwashed because this is a white man talking to him.
204
Yeah.
205
Okay?
206
And then, so then I was watching Dizzy Rascal's video, Sirens.
207
Dad says take a break, because I've been like, just working quite hard.
208
And obviously I had blood when you hear the sirens going in my head.
209
And I just started singing, like, freestyling.
210
But then, a couple days before that, my friends, two friends, they came round to my house and they left, one of them left their bag of mine, their pouch.
211
And I'm really nosy, picked it up.
212
It was so light.
213
So obviously I looked in it and there was a knife in there.
214
and i got it out it was a flicky knife don't know why i did
215
that because i didn't know how to get it back
216
and i didn't want to tell my dad
217
so i youtubed how to put it back yeah and i did
218
and i did
219
and i put it back in my bag i cleaned it i didn't never told him until like recently
220
and i was like you know part i wrote blue lights about you guys
221
because i'm based in your bag so i based the story of these two boys
222
and imagined that's why blue lights is talking about this boy
223
being late from school friend hits him up saying yeah
224
because i was imagining what happened if he did something with
225
that knife and he needed his friend to have him cover it up and then I told my friends recently, oh I wrote that song about you because I looked in your bag.
226
He was like, nah I feel inspired.
227
That's what he said.
228
And he's doing good stuff now.
229
He's like a youth mentor for like kids.
230
Like trying to get them to stop doing bad stuff.
231
Yeah.
232
That's so mad.
233
Have you seen Black Panther?
234
Yeah.
235
Yeah.
236
If you said no I was going to be really upset with you.
237
Imagine.
238
Did you know you were on the soundtrack for Black Panther before you saw it?
239
I thought soundtracks meant it was going to be in the film.
240
Only two of the songs made it in the film.
241
From the whole soundtrack?
242
From the soundtrack.
243
But then I realised that the soundtrack is normally different to the film.
244
I didn't know that though.
245
I was in LA, doing Camp Flughnall.
246
Charlie Creators Festival, just finished, and I got a DM from Tunji saying, Hey, do you want to work with Kendrick?
247
I said, yeah.
248
He said, okay.
249
I connect you with his manager.
250
So, he's like, do you want to work tonight?
251
Yes.
252
So, I get it.
253
George, this is weird.
254
I know.
255
At what point, like, this is weird.
256
I'm just like, bye guys.
257
And this is from no, this is no contact before.
258
This is not even like a...
259
No, never.
260
I didn't even know you listened to my music.
261
Yeah.
262
Get to studio about in half seven.
263
I'm like, hi.
264
Hi.
265
So it's Kendrick, Dave, his manager, and then Sam Wave.
266
And you're by yourself?
267
Mm-hmm.
268
Most of the time I'm by myself.
269
But, like, explain...
270
I've always been like, coming up to London by myself, first time I met Maverick Saber by myself, for me that was like, wow, I've listened to him so much.
271
My dad's played him so much.
272
No pressure, Georgia.
273
There's no pressure.
274
You're in a cab for 20 minutes going to see Kendrick Lamar at a studio.
275
Your heart's not beating for us.
276
You're not worried about your writing ability, like, you know, my voice sounds like nothing.
277
You're just like, this is...
278
I was thinking, I didn't take that person back.
279
So that's probably what I was thinking.
280
Haven't written a text message yet.
281
Yeah, literally.
282
And then I get to the studio.
283
He left the room for me and just like, mess around.
284
So I was just like, on the mic.
285
Just like getting, just like that.
286
Getting the melody sound and ideas.
287
Then he comes back in.
288
Then we just play like that.
289
You just like doing noises on the mic.
290
Just noises, yeah.
291
And he lights them and then we wrote it together.
292
He's just sick.
293
Things he comes up with, sick.
294
Just on the spot.
295
I'm like, sick is the only, like, my word that I describe at anything amazing.
296
It's just sick.
297
It's just sick.
298
But we connected really well and just were able to talk on a level and then write.
299
So it was good.
300
And break down the gift and the curse of working with someone
301
that big because you've had moments in your career where you've worked with a massive artist and that's all you hear about.
302
You just hear about them forever now.
303
And then you have moments where you work with another massive artist, but then the credibility is different.
304
I don't get it.
305
I don't get it.
306
Maybe when I'm really big and someone works with me, then we'll see how that goes up, that pans up.
307
Yeah.
308
I don't know.
309
Behind the scenes...
310
But I understand why, because it makes people click on the link.
311
If you put Drake, if you put K and Jit Lamar, people click on the link because they know...
312
Regardless of what name's after.
313
Yeah, because they know, oh, look, which I understand.
314
And that's for everything.
315
Even
316
if it's in.. it doesn't have not just music anything you
317
know in the entertainment world that's how that's how it works i know like i'm good at what i do
318
so eventually regardless of everything else i can come through it
319
but then maybe hopefully in a year i'm like i'm establishing myself i am me
320
and i'm establishing myself as me yeah
321
so maybe it would just be georgia yeah that's that's the
322
aim in it i think it's it is kind of now like
323
that to be honest but i understood why it wasn't because
324
but it happens to everybody that that gets like shouted out
325
or um co-signed or works with yeah and then what is annoying about
326
that when it goes outside of your own brain of what those two collaborations meant to you well
327
that can't be stopped end of yeah i saw something about ray
328
and drake the other day oh yeah
329
so it's just like everything is what it is yeah
330
and you're so happy that you did those worked with those people
331
so grateful for being on my life yeah that was mad Yeah, it was.
332
Because me, Skepta, and Giggs.
333
Yeah.
334
Great.
335
No one heard of me before.
336
As in that, his fans, Drake's fans.
337
So he opened up a whole new, like...
338
World.
339
Yeah, world.
340
I remember he said one thing which I learned from him.
341
Like, he wants to be the greatest ever, the best.
342
So everything he does is the best.
343
Like at his Boy Meets World tour, he had a huge...
344
Globe.
345
Globe, because he wanted that.
346
And that song I learnt was just like, if you want whatever you want, do it.
347
No matter how mad it will sound, you believe in what you do, do it.
348
Is working with those people about building relationships forever?
349
Is it about being able to call on Kendrick or even Dave, his manager, or Tunji or whoever, in the future and maintain those relationships?
350
Or can it sometimes be, we've done a collaboration now, thank you, see you later?
351
No, I'd like to think, hey, wanna be on my song?
352
You know?
353
Or if I need some advice or want them to hear something, I could hit them up.
354
I still think Kendrick on my album, he liked it.
355
Oh, really?
356
Yeah.
357
Amazing.
358
So I was happy.
359
You was hoping that maybe sent a verse as well, like...
360
Nah, no features.
361
No, really?
362
On my first album, I thought, nah, just me.
363
People probably are going to expect me to have Drake feature and Kendrick feature.
364
Maybe Caliucci's feature too. Who else?
365
Stormzy feature.
366
Yeah.
367
Sorry.
368
Maverick.
369
And Maverick feature.
370
Maverick feature.
371
Don't.
372
Sorry guys.
373
But what am I going to do for album two?
374
I've got to have other stuff to do.
375
What else is on the album that was important to you?
376
A lot of love.
377
There's a lot of love on there, but love in different ways.
378
Yeah.
379
What is your relationship with love as a 20 year old woman in the world? Do you like it?
380
Do you hate it?
381
I like it.
382
I like love.
383
I love people in love.
384
I love hearing about love.
385
I like rom-coms.
386
I do actually like them.
387
Love is like, you can experience love in so many different ways.
388
Love with your friends, love with your parents, love with boys, love with girls, love with so many different ways and you just still in my head
389
and i'll write about it i write about it i'll give a lot
390
but when somebody when i've taken too much that's it it's done yeah
391
and i'm very i'm quite cold in that sense
392
but i can be really like emotional at times
393
and then i can turn stuff off okay
394
which is my cold side being strong
395
and being in love don't go hand in hand it seems like for you it's weak sometimes yeah weak
396
when you're in no all the time
397
but you are you're like susceptible to things that you wouldn't be
398
if you weren't in love and so i was like you seem like someone who's like
399
if you have to be in that space sometimes you will be sometimes i'll be like i didn't mean it
400
oh i'll be like i don't say
401
that yeah like i wrote teenage fantasies teenage fantasy i never
402
had a boyfriend before oh really no i hadn't had a boyfriend how old were you
403
when you had your first boyfriend 19 are you joking yeah 19 cool i really like
404
that At school me and my friends all got called frigid.
405
And everyone was like, you girls are all just weird.
406
I forgot that word!
407
Frigid, you know.
408
Oh my goodness.
409
I used to be like, I really liked loads of boys at school and they rejected me.
410
Because I wasn't the prettiest girl at school.
411
I was a bit clapped.
412
I thought I had one time, yeah, because I had my hair permed and then I cut it really short.
413
You know when Rihanna had the shaved side?
414
That's what I thought I looked like but I didn't.
415
You looked like what?
416
Just anything else?
417
Just not that.
418
Where do you see this all going by the way?
419
is to I need a lot of people to this my
420
music oh I also want to write bond tune also want to direct small videos
421
and performing in bigger venues but make it intimate make it intimate
422
but yeah don't know about this not being able to leave places without loads of security
423
so I don't think you can have one about the other I'm worried
424
that you think you can no I know I can't
425
because things are changing already huge yeah it's gonna be crazy yeah but I feel like it can be managed.
426
I just have to be okay.
427
I need to be okay.
428
Yeah.
429
And be okay, like really, in my head.
430
I need to be okay.
431
Else things can go wrong.
432
I'm going to a holiday soon.
433

You need to try sweet corn out of the tin on a pizza, and you fold it in half like that, and then you dip it into ketchup.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
