about

The arrival of Soul Lament, the debut EP from Sydney/Gadigal multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and performer GC OConnor, is a beautiful statement of intent.

Having spent the last decade perfecting her craft, solidifying her creative identity across years of performance experience in Australia and overseas, GC OConnor makes her mark with the release of Soul Lament, a striking fusion of soul, jazz and R&B influences that tie in with GC OConnor’s own unique take on the genre standards.

With her sound first teased in October with the release of her debut single, the standalone track ‘Love On High’ produced by The Goods, Soul Lament is packed with rich texture across its five-track runtime and is solely produced by Sydney’s Loraio, the first track off the EP ‘Stay’ highlighted GC OConnor’s talents as a writer and vocalist, setting a great foundation for the rest of the EP to follow.

Released via Low Key Source, Soul Lament paints a strong picture of GC OConnor enjoying a particular creative peak of her artistry.

“‘Soul Lament’ is a bedroom soundtrack, an exploration of expression.” - GC OConnor

Soul Lament is a perfect trip for fans of artists including Cleo Sol, Laura Mvula, Valerie June and Nai Palm. Smooth and intoxicating vocals, meeting layered and rich arrangements that feel incredibly fresh in 2023, while faithfully nodding to the history of her influences at the same time.

With the release of Soul Lament, GC OConnor makes a strong introduction to a talented musician more audiences are set to discover in 2023, but it is also a testament to the years of work already poured into getting her to this point. Having developed as a musician on stages supporting the likes of Joyce Wrice and Children of Zeus in Australia, GC OConnor has used each opportunity to learn, evolve and elevate her own artistry.

Soul Lament is a representation of such elevation.

For GC OConnor, Soul Lament is a career touchstone, and an exciting marker when it comes to what lay ahead.

“Embracing a DIY ethic and guided by ‘Inspiration Information’ and ‘The Headphone Masterpiece’, we present to you, a mixtape for your lover.” - Loraio

This is criminally underrated. I wish more people would notice their chemistry because it's off the charts. Alfa and Emmavie shine on every track at every second - it's hard to find this quality of work these days but wow, they deserve all the praise for a flawless record. Tevin Lind
