6th November 2024 - Alternative pop visionary Gia Ford has released her latest single,

‘Earth Return’ a hauntingly evocative track and first new music since her debut album

Transparent Things, out now via Chrysalis Records. Out today, ‘Earth Return’ is a deeply

personal piece blending nostalgic warmth with raw vulnerability, and is the final song

created during the Transparent Things recording sessions. Listen here.

‘Earth Return’ is a testament to Gia’s lyrical depth, resonating with themes of memory,

family, and an everlasting bond to place. As Gia herself describes: “‘Earth Return’

was born out of the desire to be in your most loved place when you die. For me, that’s around where my grandparents lived, in the Hope Valley in Derbyshire, whenever I’m there I feel at ease

with everything; as if, I died there right then, it’d be the right thing, and that my spirit

would be among my family and even the spirits of versions of me, me as a child, running round there.” Gia will be embarking on her first UK headline tour this month, kicking off in Bristol on 10th November and running until 19th November in her hometown Sheffield, which has already sold out. Remaining tickets can be purchased here.

Released in September, Transparent Things is an immersive collection that showcases how Gia is able to craft songs like no other artist of her generation. The album received rapturous critical acclaim upon release, described by NME as “a ponderous art rock tapestry of tragic, sinister and wondrous figures” and hailed by Rolling Stone UK as “the true arrival of a British songwriter seizing her moment”, while Wonderland quotes that the album is “everything one could hope for from a debut project”, with CLASH declaring Gia as “the new, striking indie it-girl to watch". Gia’s haunting vocals, extraordinary gift for storytelling and her timeless sound, matched with her mesmerising stage presence, have seen her garner support from Sir Elton John on his Apple Music ‘Rocket Hour’ show, Rolling Stone UK, DIY, NME, CLASH, DORK, The Line of Best Fit, 6 Music and Gay Times, and tipped as a One to Watch by The Independent, The Sun and Record of the Day. Gia was recently nominated for an AIM Independent Music Award for ‘Best Independent Video’ for her previous single ‘Poolside’ - you can check out the video here.
