Starbucks licensed "The Beat Stuff" for play in its cafés.[4] During her tour to support the EP, a commercial music supervisor also saw her performance in New York City, and licensed her new non-album track, "You've Got a Place Called Home", for use in a Wal-Mart commercial.[4]
Georgas won CBC Radio 3's Bucky Award for Best New Artist in 2009.[1]
