Slovenian pop-groove collective Batista Cadillac have released their new single and music video “Georgia,” a track that blends retro soul, funk, and sleek contemporary production into a smooth, emotionally charged listening experience. Over the past few years, the band has built a strong regional following thanks to their danceable yet refined sound, and this latest release further showcases their songwriting maturity and polished studio work.
The song was written by Urban Lutman, Matija Koritnik, Jure Lesar, Anže Kacafura and Primož Hudoklin, produced by Cazzafura, and released via SonicTribe. Lutman delivers the lead vocals, supported by Sandra Feketija and Matija Koritnik, while the band’s tight instrumental section—guitars, keys, bass, and drums—creates a warm, organic groove that nods to the ’70s while remaining firmly rooted in the present.

The music video enhances the song’s sensual and nostalgic atmosphere. Directed by Jan Filip Jordan Frangeš, with cinematography by Peter Perunović, the visual component is carefully stylized, from Zarja Predin’s costume design to color grading by Teo Rižnar (NuFrame Post&Production studio). Starring Kim Kranjc, Zoja and Elizabeta, the video carries a cinematic feel, supported by a large creative team from both the music and film scenes.
“Georgia” feels like a song about longing and idealized love—its title may suggest a place, but it could just as easily represent a person or a state of mind. That openness gives the track additional emotional depth, while its irresistible groove invites repeated listens. With this release, Batista Cadillac once again confirm their position as one of the most compelling new-wave soul and funk acts coming out of Slovenia, with clear crossover potential beyond their home scene.
