Gia Ford announces sophomore album, ‘A Room Within A Room’
Alt-pop singer Gia Ford has announced her sophomore album, A Room Within A Room, slated for a September 18th release via Chrysalis Records.
In celebration of the announcement, Ford has released the album’s lead single, ‘At Least For Now’, which boasts a shimmering 1970s aesthetic, inspired by the poet Anne Sexton.
Ford has also shared that the new album is the “manifestation of a desire to make something real, in a world and artistic landscape that increasingly favours convenience over craft.”
Ford added that, along with her producer, she attempted to imbue the project with “the evidence of life within it,” such as the “room we recorded in”.
She elaborated, “This is the antithesis of that hyper-clean, optimised sound that is so abundant now. It’s almost optimisation in the opposite direction, making it clear that some people made this music together in a room somewhere.”
The 29-year-old concluded, “A Room Within A Room is about the local atmospheres we own that hang around us. It’s about the private rooms within us, the expansiveness of our experience, the force of our inner worlds and imaginations. It’s also about the importance of process, and overall, the significance of human creation.”
Ford is also set to take the new album on tour this October, including stops in London, Bristol, Leeds, Manchester, Edinburgh, and North Shields.
Fans can already get a taste of what’s to come through the four singles that have already been released from the album, including ‘At Least For Now’, ‘I Guess My Time Has Come’, ‘How Do I Reply?’, and ‘God’.
