Have you been looking for a new summer song to obsess over? Look no further than Persian-American pop artist Gia Woods who has just released her new track Elevation. If you loved the Barbie film and are a fan of Dua Lipa, Gia Woods is definitely going to be your cup of tea.
Elevation is just one of the songs on Gia’s new EP Your Engine which is sure to be full of sapphic bops. Her upcoming Your Engine EP marks a new chapter for Gia as she embraces her Persian heritage, delivering emotionally charged sapphic songs. Proudly owning her identity as a lesbian, this new EP marks a new stage of Gia’s sound as she leans more into her Persian heritage to showcase her intersectional identity and the experiences which have defined her music.
Her music brims with a captivating blend of sultry sensuality and playful charisma, reflecting her unique essence. Her breakout hit Only A Girl firmly established her as a fearless and cutting-edge artist, unapologetically celebrating her identity.
Drawing inspiration from her experiences in Los Angeles, her previous EPs (Heartbreak County, Vol.1 and Vol. 2) delved into the city’s darker aspects and explored themes of gritty heartbreak. Despite delving into serious subjects, Gia’s music retains an alluring sonic experience, characterised by synth-heavy, beat-driven hits.
