The rising artists will support Prima Queen at London’s 100 Club on 15th April.

The single coincides with a mini tour for Independent Venue Week in January.

She will also perform at the Pitchfork Music Festival in Paris.

The haunting new track explores themes of death and Ford's connection to her grandparents' home in Derbyshire's Hope Valley.

The debut album explores themes of alienation and societal outcasts.

With her debut album 'Transparent Things', Gia Ford steps into the spotlight as a musical storyteller, weaving tales of outcasts and misfits. From serial killers to lonely housewives, she invites us into a world where fact and fiction blur.

It's teased by new single 'Paint Me Like A Woman'.

Catch her live at The Lower Third tonight (Wednesday, 24th January).

The date takes place in January.

"It’s a love song, just told in a different way," she says.

"Alligator is a song about a desperation to be seen and heard," she explains.

"I’m entering a totally new era," she says.

"[It] marks the start of a new era."

It's an unsettling one.

It's a long 'un.

"I wrote ‘Girl' because I wanted to write a pop song," Gia explains.
