Pop rock singer/songwriter George Collins just released his latest single, “I Got What I Got,” the first from his upcoming sophomore EP, Songs for Grown-ups.

“I Got What I Got,” is a vibrant and energetic pop rock track that effortlessly blends elements of bluesy swagger with a touch of Eric Clapton and Steely Dan. From the moment the song begins, it’s clear that Collins is here to make a statement and captivate his audience. It showcases his undeniable talent as a songwriter and musician as its infectious hooks, captivating melodies, and poignant lyrics leaves a lasting impression.

The inspiration behind “I Got What I Got” stems from a night of reminiscing and celebration between Collins and an old friend. As they raise their glasses, toasting to their past adventures in Prague during the early 1990s, the lyrics echo their sentiments of gratitude for the wonderful wives they have and the lives they’ve built. It’s a song that speaks of redemption, highlighting the transformative power of love and the joy of returning to life after navigating through emotionally-barren periods.

Collins’ ability to craft deeply meaningful and vulnerable narratives is evident in his songwriting, drawing from his experiences as a screenwriter and novelist. Each lyric is imbued with insight, empathy, and hard-fought wisdom, making for a compelling listening experience.

George Collins’ musical journey began at the age of four when he received his first guitar, and he hasn’t looked back since. With a background in both guitar and piano, Collins honed his skills throughout his life, always driven by a desire for an international career in music. However, witnessing the struggles of older musicians trapped in a cycle of disappointment and substance abuse, he made a pivotal decision to forge a different path.

In 2012, at the age of 50, Collins welcomed his first child and chose to leave behind his lucrative career as an investment consultant and financial executive. This courageous move allowed him to fully embrace his creative pursuits and become a dedicated full-time parent. The result is an artist who pours his heart and soul into his music, infusing it with authenticity and a profound sense of purpose.

If you’re seeking a pop rock anthem that combines introspection with a catchy groove, look no further than George Collins and his remarkable musical offering. “I Got What I Got” is absolutely one for your Summer playlist!
