How often do we hear from the outsider’s perspective? For rising new artist 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.

‘Transparent Things’ is Gia Ford’s debut album, and first album release with Chrysalis Records, produced by Tony Berg (Phoebe Bridgers) at Sound City Studios in LA.

Since the release of her first single at the end of 2023,Gia has been championed by a number of taste makers, in addition to being chosen in The Independent’s Ones To Watch for 2024.

‘Transparent Things’ is about alienation: “Most of the characters in these songs are outcasts, all with unique ways of feeling on the periphery, somehow,” says Ford. “I’ve discovered, through the grouping of these songs, that I’m drawn to this sort of story.” While each song operates in its own realm, their subject matters create a through line of eccentricity that turns ‘Transparent Things’ into a kind of odyssey of outcasts.
