Melbourne/NZ Artist Georgia Knight Unveils Trip-Hop-Laced New Music With ‘Desire'
Melbourne/New Zealand-based artist Georgia Knight unveils ' Desire' – the first taste of new music from the singer-songwriter, signalling a sonic reimagining and showcasing a broader creative palette than ever before. Predominantly composing her songs on autoharp, 'Desire' edges away from Knight's folk foundations and instead steps deeper into darker, grainier terrain. Toying with dark pop and avant-garde, Knight ventures through worlds of trip-hop, loops and synth-washed layers to produce something that leans toward a new experimental output. Produced by Georgia and Andrew 'Idge' Hehir at Soundpark Studios and mastered by John Lee at Phaedra, 'Desire' also features a cast of local collaborators – Nick Finch (Cash Savage and the Last Drinks), Holly Thomas (Quivers), and Rosie Noyes – whose individual contributions bring the track to life. 'Desire wasn't intended as a song. It was meant to lead me into making an album,' Georgia shares. 'I wanted some strong musical way into a different way of doing things, because I felt hemmed in by styles. Having a pathway with no direction is some kind of pathway, I think. When I wrote this tune it was about that, particularly because I was so alone.' 'Desire' marks the first release from Georgia Knight following 2023's Hell on Bent Street EP, which led to performances at Rising, Dark Mofo and Camp A Low Hum, and support slots for Blonde Redhead, Mogwai, Angie McMahon and Maple Glider. It's the first taste of more material from Georgia, with more to come soon. Georgia Knight will join Folk Bitch Trio on their upcoming Aotearoa tour this September, bringing her music to three cities across the motu. Friday 26th September – The Tuning Fork, Auckland Saturday 27th September – San Fran, Wellington Sunday 28th September – Loons, Lyttelton

Phaedra Parks Says RHOA Lost the ‘Fun' and She's Bringing It Back
Season 16 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta has been an improvement. The return of Porsha Williams and Cynthia Bailey in a friend capacity has helped elevate this season. In addition, Shamea Morton claimed her peach, which allowed her to finally step into the spotlight. Plus, Phaedra Parks is back, and she added an extra spark. Now, Phaedra is discussing Season 16 of RHOA and what she brought to the table. Phaedra isn't planning on turning in her peach anytime soon. This mortician, lawyer, and mom is planning to stay involved in the show for the 'long haul.' And she is making the most of the experience. 'I'm introducing what I think the series lost: fun, fabulousness, and just authentically enjoying yourself in life. I have several jobs, and I continue to expand my little empire,' Phaedra told OK!. 'So, my fortress is growing.' And seeing Phaedra and Porsha reunited once again as 'frick and frack' has been a hoot. 'Frick and frack is back. It's Phaedra 2.0,' she explained. 'I'm not with a crazy husband, and I got a new, young, and sparky boyfriend who's just cute.' She added of her sons Ayden and Dylan, 'My kids are at an age where they speak their minds, which I don't know if I enjoy that.' Phaedra teased that RHOA viewers will see her pre-teen son, Dylan, launch his own business. 'They're little entrepreneurs,' Phaedra stated. 'So, this season, you'll not only see me continuing to work my many jobs, but you'll see my youngest son launch his clothing line.' Meanwhile, shade assassin Kenya Moore shaded Phaedra amid reports that Episode 12's ratings hit a series low. Of course, Kenya quit the show during filming after she was suspended for allegedly showing photos of RHOA co-star Brit Eady performing a sexual act. The Real Housewives of Atlanta airs on Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo and on Hayu in the UK and Ireland. TELL US – IS PHAEDRA MAKING RHOA 'FUN?' ARE YOU ENJOYING SEASON 16?

Phaedra Parks Returns to The Real Housewives of Atlanta — Reunites with Porsha Williams and Reflects on Her Past
After years away from the peach-holding spotlight, Phaedra Parks made her highly anticipated return to The Real Housewives of Atlanta on Sunday, May 25, stepping in to fill the space left by Kenya Moore's mid-season exit. The comeback marks a new chapter for the attorney and reality TV star — one she's embracing with both reflection and renewed energy. Welcoming her back to the group was none other than her longtime friend and former co-star, Porsha Williams. Their reunion on-screen was a moment of full-circle grace, especially given the rocky history that once threatened their bond. In a candid confessional, Phaedra didn't shy away from addressing her controversial departure from the franchise. 'Unfortunately, the last time you saw me wasn't my best moment,' she admitted. But she also made it clear that the situation wasn't one-sided. 'Now, we know I regret how I left the group, but he who is without fault cast the first stone.' Phaedra's original exit in 2017 came after a fallout stemming from a major scandal that rocked the cast. Since then, both she and Porsha, 43, have taken time to heal — separately and together. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Transform Your Child's Confidence with Our Public Speaking Program Planet Spark Book Now Undo Now, the two seem stronger than ever. 'My relationship with Porsha is awesome,' Phaedra said with a smile. 'We have had our ups and downs, but we've always maintained that friendship. When there is a true friendship, no matter what you go through, it can never be broken, and it's just like riding a bicycle. When we get together, we are rolling.' Porsha echoed that sentiment, revealing that once she moved through her 'healing process,' she didn't even dwell on the drama that once defined their relationship. Phaedra's return has already added a fresh dynamic to the group, and with her wit, poise, and sharp tongue back in the mix, fans are eager to see how the rest of the season unfolds. Whether she's mending old wounds, reigniting friendships, or stirring the pot in true RHOA fashion, one thing is certain — Miss Parks is back, and she's holding her peach with purpose.
