Magos Herrera & Brooklyn Rider "Volver A Los 17" Just wait until she really knows what she's doing. Flipo has a flair for the dramatic that you can't teach and a debut song that most bands can't touch. So what gives? Well, behind all its archetypal garb, "About You" smolders with a tangible tension, from her opening, ominous synths to the no-she-didn't drum fill that transformed G Flip from an anonymous unsigned uploader into a word-of-mouth star almost overnight in her native Australia. 37 on a list of the greatest songs of 2018. The song's structure is relatively by the numbers, the opening line rhymes "see" with "me," and the vague chorus borders on the banal: "You're right there / And I'm right here thinking 'bout / Here thinking about you." It should be a rather rudimentary song, a perfunctory rite of passage that portends greater things down the road. "About You" was Georgia Flipo's first public attempt at songwriting, and it shows.
