GC OConnor – Sunday Best

GC OConnor is a Sydney/Gadigal-based multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and composer whose music blends soul, jazz, R&B, and alternative influences into a style she describes as “stoner-soul.” Following years of building a reputation as a formidable live performer with shows across Australia, the UK, and Europe, she released her EP ‘Soul Lament’ in November 2023 via Low Key Source, gaining support from KEXP, Jazz FM, Bandcamp Daily, Jyoty, Rinse FM, Somewhere Soul & more. With this debut offering OConnor’s husky vocals and rich, layered arrangements garnered critical acclaim for their emotional depth and sonic sophistication, and drew comparisons to artists like Cleo Sol and Nai Palm. Further developing this distinctive and emotive emotive storytelling style, she now returns with new single ‘Sunday Best’, due for release 9th May via Low Key Source.

Blissful, reverberating chords open the track, joined by a bedrock of evolving percussion – paving the way for GC to deliver her trademark enriched, soul-soothing dulcet tones, whilst maintaining the track’s stripped down, melodic sensibilities. On the track’s inspiration, she says, “It’s a track for anyone who comes to a point in their life where they are content with their lot, putting their best foot forward for the ones they love. A soundtrack for a steezy Sunday spent with their chosen community.”. A feel good return to form from one of Australia’s most promising soul and jazz exports.
