Fairytale Feels, Indie R&B Vibes, and a Sprinkle of Old Hollywood Magic
If you’ve ever found yourself staring out a rainy window pretending you’re in a coming-of-age romance scene, Geena Gangi just dropped your new soundtrack. Her latest single, “In the Movies”, is a wistful, wide-eyed swirl of alternative indie R&B and pop that captures the tender ache of wanting a love so big, so sweeping, it feels straight out of a film reel. And just in time for the season of romantic daydreams—spring into summer.
Co-written with producer and creative partner Josh “yesh” Zegan, “In the Movies” has a gentle, boppy groove that dances between innocence and depth. There’s something playful in its rhythm, but it’s soaked in heart—the kind of track that sounds like sunlight flickering through curtains on a slow Sunday morning. Think Solange meets Clairo with a touch of early 2000s pop magic, all wrapped in a dreamy cinematic filter.
Geena’s voice carries that exact balance of wide-eyed wonder and grounded warmth. She’s not just singing about love; she’s singing about hope. About the stories we grew up on. About wanting the butterflies, the big gestures, the knowing glances from across the room. In her own words, she wanted to answer the question: “What does longing for a fairytale love story sound like?”—and the answer is this track.
The lyrics feel like a diary entry written in the margins of a screenplay, and that’s no accident. Geena’s whole vibe is rooted in a nostalgic love for Old Hollywood—Audrey Hepburn charm meets Lana Del Rey edge. She’s not just playing dress-up; she’s carving out a space where vintage glam meets modern storytelling, both sonically and visually (check the stunning cover art shot by Angela Piazza and edited by Geena herself).
As a 26-year-old from Middleton, Massachusetts, now based in LA, Geena’s creative voice is clear: independent, intentional, and unapologetically romantic. And the fact that she’s still doing it all as an indie artist? Even more impressive. She’s in the process of label negotiations, but for now she’s fiercely protecting her authenticity—and it shows in every note.
“In the Movies” isn’t just a song. It’s a vibe, a mood board, a soft-focus moment in your personal rom-com. Whether you’re falling in love, manifesting it, or just vibing in your headphones on a sunny walk, this track wraps you in the warmth of possibility.
If you’ve got a heart that beats a little harder for slow dances, classic cinema, and R&B grooves with emotional sparkle—Geena Gangi is one to watch. “In the Movies” is proof that fairytales might be fictional, but the feelings they stir are very, very real.
