Introverts party too

[edit]

Introverts party too is a Georgian[1] music project from Tbilisi[2], established in January 2024. The group consists of Elene Betlemeli (lead vocals, backing vocals), Shako Begashvili (guitars, bass guitar), and Giorgi Gagnidze (keyboards, synthesisers). As of July 2024, they have self-released five singles: “I Hate Weddings,” “Where Is My Lighter??,” “We're Cinematic,” “Campfire,” and “Home Is Not You,” along with one three-song EP titled “Stages of Grief.”

The band was founded by Shako Begashvili and Giorgi Gagnidze, who have been involved in music projects and studying music theory, production, and post-production since 2016. They were joined by vocalist Elene Betlemeli, who has been singing and composing her own music since 2017. In January 2024, they decided to collaborate on a new project, combining Shako’s melancholic guitar riffs, Giorgi’s emotional and monotonic synths, and Elene’s distinctive new-age vocal tone. This collaboration resulted in a unique, semi-experimental sound.

In March 2024, Introverts party too released their debut single, “I Hate Weddings.” The track received significant attention and positive feedback, partly due to promotion by the Instagram page “the_goodmusic[3].” Motivated by this success, the band quickly released four additional singles over the next three months: “Where Is My Lighter??,” “We’re Cinematic,” “Campfire,” and “Home Is Not You.” The latter single, “Home Is Not You,” was particularly impactful, appearing in over 3000 Spotify playlists.

In July 2024, the group released their first EP, “Stages of Grief,” which includes three tracks representing different stages of grief: “Denial,” “Grey for Now,” and “Back on Track.” The first track, “Denial,” addresses the initial stage of grief, where individuals cling to a false reality, reflected in the lyrics, “Why don’t you call me back?” The second track, “Grey for Now,” encompasses the anger, bargaining, and depression stages, characterised by a sense of mournful silence yet lingering hope, as expressed in the line, “I’ll open the door to see you home.” The final track, “Back on Track,” signifies the acceptance stage, where individuals come to terms with reality and look forward to better days, encapsulated in the words, “I know we can try again, but somewhere else.” This track went viral due to its emotionally charged outro, where each member's contributions resonated deeply with listeners.
