Two sixth form students from Lancaster have released a new single.
George Gellersen and Hannah Tunnadine from Lancaster Royal Grammar School have recently produced and released the single ‘It’s Gonna Be Okay’, the reaction to which has ‘astonished’ them both.
The song contains a clear and strong message and you can listen to it here.

“I think (the lyrics are) important because during the pandemic we were alone and trapped with ourselves, you’ve got to be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel," said Hannah.
George said: “The title (‘It’s Gonna Be Okay’) is something that I tell myself a lot especially during stressful times and something that I tell other people too.”
Both have taken inspiration from other artists and genres to create ‘It’s Gonna Be Okay’. George said that the song “was very much lo-fi inspired”. In terms of the lyrics, he says that he kept it pretty simple but they’re “vaguely inspired by Mac DeMarco, who is an Indie songwriter who writes a lot of short and sweet songs that help you get up in the morning.”
Hannah said: “I listen to a lot of different types of music and as you listen to other people sing, you slowly change the way that you do it.”
Future projects are already in motion for George, who is set to release his second single, ‘Down Again’ later this week. He also has an album in the works, and he is hopeful it will be ready for release “maybe in a couple of months.”.
He promises an exciting blend of styles for his upcoming songs.
“The next songs come with a more artistic exploration of what it was like to be in a pandemic. The next song is much more electronic, then I’m going to venture into metal-inspired-electronic songs and jazz-fusion songs.”
