Gia Margaret comes back to the human voice by way of patience and trust. After years unable to sing, she learned to speak through sound instead, refining an intimate approach shaped by ambient detail and emotional precision. On Singing, that hard-won sensitivity carries over into song, where soft piano figures and hushed arrangements feel as fragile as breath on glass.
The album moves through feelings of distance and rediscovery, finding meaning in observation and inner dialogue. Margaret sings from the edges of scenes and emotions, closer to the ground, attentive to what surfaces when certainty falls away. Her voice is often stretched and filtered, as if testing its limits, but it retains a clear sense of warmth and resolve.
Recorded in part in London with Guy Sigsworth, the album brings together a wide cast — including David Bazan, Amy Millan, Kurt Vile, Sean Carey, Deb Talan, and longtime collaborator Doug Saltzman — without losing focus. Each contribution serves the same aim: songs that honour past selves while gently shaping what comes next.
