CREATIVE VICTORIA: CREATIVE PROJECTS FUND
GEORGIA FIELDS – FOURTH ALBUM RELEASE PROJECT
SUPPORT MATERIAL
ABOUT THE ALBUM
(master)piece is the fourth studio album by autistic singer-songwriter Georgia Fields.
Using loops, vocal chant (echolalia), polyrhythms, and melodic patterns, Georgia re-contextualises autism's hallmark “restricted and repetitive behaviour” as a vibrant and vital expression of autistic creativity. Lyrics cover topics such as masking, stimming, parenting, identity, and the complexities of life as a neurodivergent person.
The album is produced by long-time collaborator Josh Barber (Queenie; Gretta Ray; Gotye) in Mollongghip on Dja Dja Wurrung country (Victoria), and will be distributed by MGM Distribution.
AUDIO EXAMPLES
Lead single Chameleon was released in April 2026 for Autism Awareness Month, introducing the album project to Georgia’s audience and building momentum towards the official album release campaign.
Night Swimming is another track from the forthcoming (master)piece. It is presented here to demonstrate the sound of the new album.

Who am I, who am I
Who am I
Who?I change my shape to fit the catalyst
Reading the room, reading the script
Read it like an anthropologist
Looking for codes to encryptI wear this mask so well
So well that I can't tell
What's underneath the shell
What's under?I'm a chameleon
Who am I, who am I
Who am I
Who?Yeah it's all in my delivery
I mean what I say, I say what I mean
But it's not enough, it seems
Gotta fill it out with pleasantriesI look you in the eye
Hold tight to my disguise
I feel my heartbeat rise
I feel my -I'm a chameleon
Change my colours, change my skin
But I can't change, won't change
What's withinWho am I, who am I
Who am I
Who?

Night swimming
Violet tide
Mind brimming
Foam and fightAnd I become the static
Spleen buzzing with blind bees (it’s a)
Violent, silent somatic
Close up, tune out, fold inNight swimming
Ride the seiche
Try stimming
Bend and quakeAnd I become the sadness
Psyche at apogee
Wading through ink molasses
Close up, tune out, fold in
Close up, tune out, fold inWhat if the shadow
Is just my grief taking flight?
What is the break is
Just to let in the light?Night swimming
What if the shadow
Is just my grief taking flight?
What is the break is
Just to let in the light?Night swimming

PREVIOUS MEDIA / REVIEWS
“Fields' vocals float hypnotically, while meticulously crafted art-pop arrangements ruminate beneath. Fields presents each vignette of Hiraeth with vivid emotion, and a certain electricity runs across each line... Hiraeth feels like a moment of arrival.” ★★★★
— The Australian Newspaper
“Georgia's vocals take the lead dynamically as they dance between sincere and soft, to powerful and soul-moving. Beautifully composed and delivered between gritty and dainty moments, Holding My Hands Out is a testament to Georgia’s abilities as a songwriter and a vocalist.”
— Pilerats
“Georgia Fields dreams fantastic Technicolour. Her subconscious teems with breathless stuff about flying, falling and lunar possession. Darkly-coded collisions of fairytale and myth... Irrepressible pop.”
— The Sydney Morning Herald

— The Autumn Roses
