23-year-old Gia Ford—the alias of Molly McCormick—is an English alt-pop musician with an affection for 90s R&B. On first impressions, she might seem like the UK’s answer to New York’s queer icon King Princess; both have rich vocals, dreamy synths and thoughtful lyrics accompanied by an androgynous, 80s/90s aesthetic. And from her 80s American pop-culture-inspired moniker, to singing “Double denim at the Dairy Queen drive through” in ‘TURBO DREAMS’, Ford is clearly inspired by the US. 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.
