⭐️ GIA FORD ⭐️
TURBO DREAMS OUT NOW
GF 2019
How often do we hear from the outsider’s perspective? For Gia Ford, those figures on the fringes of society are by far the most fascinating. Her songs tell the stories of
the downtrodden to the downright dangerous. And through them, we begin to hear familiar, uncomfortable truths about ourselves.
Taking influence from artists including Fleetwood Mac, Nick Cave, and Radiohead, Gia has taken time to cultivate her distinctive sound and aesthetic, having started out making covers of The Cure and David Gray and dreaming up future songs while working in cafés. Her stunning debut album, Transparent Things, was produced by Tony Berg (Boygenius, Phoebe Bridgers) and co-written with Liam Howe (Adele, Lana Del Rey, MARINA), each track depicts a different character who is outcast.
She hopes that the messages in each song will reveal themselves to listeners gradually, over time. “Transparent Things isn’t a concept album, but I think I have always been drawn to darker subject matters,” she says. “We’ve all gone through a period of not understanding why we feel a certain way, or having the sense that something is missing in our lives. We’ve all felt like outsiders.”
Praise for Gia:
“music’s most exciting new storyteller” - Gay Times
“Beautifully produced, beautiful record, beautiful songs” - Sir Elton John
“Transparent Things is everything one could hope for from a debut project — one that will go down as a modern classic.” - Wonderland.
