Indie Electro-Pop Vocalist GIIA Releases Second Track, “Fade to Grey”
After making a breakthrough entrance into the electronic music world with her exciting debut single, “Burning Game” produced by MEMBA (a neo-tribal, anti-dance music, world influenced experience of rhythm), vocalist and indie electro-pop artist GIIA has been turning heads and attracting the attention of music blogs worldwide. Today, GIIA is partnering with All Things Go Music for the exclusive premiere of a new track titled, “Fade to Grey” featuring a dissonant, dark synth-based production courtesy of MEMBA. All Things Go states “GIIA’s voice soars with unbelievable range, from her deep, honeyed verses to her breathy-into-belting chorus.” An avid yogi and spiritualist, GIIA was inspired to write “Fade to Grey” from the image of Mother Nature and her “fading to grey from the harm we have done.”
Here is what the artist had to say about the track:
Fade To Grey’ came about during an impromptu session. At the time, my biggest inspiration was Flume’s new album, specifically the song with Little Dragon. I have always been captivated by her melodies/phrasing and Flume’s big synthy sound. The song is about Mother Nature and is written from her perspective. I had an image of Mother Nature literally fading to grey from all the harm we have done to her earth. I love the song because it really showcases all the ranges of my voice and has a big cinematic feel!
