Gia Margaret – “Alive Inside”

Graham Tolbert

Gia Margaret's fourth LP Singing arrives in just a few weeks. So far we've heard the great singles "Everyone Around Me Dancing" and "Good Friend," and now the Chicago singer-songwriter is back with the intimate, otherworldly "Alive Inside."

"'Alive Inside' was written during a difficult season of my life that was soothed by many hours staring out at the lake," Margaret says, expounding:

I recorded it in Eau Claire with Sean Carey, who leant his gorgeous voice and production to it. This was the first time I had stepped into a studio in years and I felt terrified. But hearing it blossom encouraged me to keep moving in more ways than one. Additional drum programming and vocal production by my long-time collaborator and exceptional engineer/producer/artist, Doug Saltzman who I also mixed the song with. Our teamwork has been a huge component of my vocal music up until this point. Grateful to the heart of collaboration.

Singing is out 4/24 via Jagjaguwar.
