If you’ve ever fallen out with a close friend, you know it can sting more than any break-up with a romantic partner. Gia Darcy has channelled those emotions into her latest pop bop “Subtle Changes.” Its shimmery upbeat vibe helps to balance the single’s emotionally raw lyrics.
“This song is about a falling out with my best friend. Neither of us are good at saying how we actually feel, but we can both tell something’s shifted. The crossed arms, the awkward silences, the slight change in tone… That’s where the heartbreak lives,” she mused. “It’s not loud, but it’s real.”
Gia worked with some heavy-hitters on “Subtle Changes.” She co-wrote it with New York-based songwriter Ross Newhouse before working with producer Liam Quinn, known for his work with Peach PRC and Ruel.
Gia will return to the stage on September 27 supporting Joan & The Giants at their free show at Vic on the Park in Eora/Sydney.
