Interview with gigi
We had the pleasure of interviewing gigi over Zoom video!
Breakout artist gigi gives a tour de force vocal performance on her new single, \u201dFigurines,\u201d released today via Mogul Vision/Interscope Records. On the dreamy, self-penned track, which she recorded in Nashville, gigi examines mortality and the process of forging one\u2019s own path. Mike Zara and Aidan Hobbs produced and play on \u201cFigurines,\u201d combining haunting keyboards with plaintive guitar and adding accordion and saxophone as the song builds to an emotional close.
\u201c\u2019Figurines\u2019 is about the circle of life, fear of death, and the lengths people go to immortalize themselves. There are many areas of my life I can point in my early development that have influenced this sort of existential thorn i have. Your brain is a hard drive and you can never erase anything from it. Your experiences are with you always but you can work past them. Writing about my fears of mortality help me come to terms with it myself,\u201d said gigi. Born in New Jersey, raised in Florida and now based in Brooklyn, gigi is currently on her first national tour, providing direct support on Noah Cyrus\u2019 North American run.
After sharing the track \u201cSometimes (Backwood)\u201d on TikTok in 2021, she released the single independently. It racked up 18 million streams in the first six months and combined global streams now surpass 72 million. Hailing gigi as \u201cone of Gen Z\u2019s breakout artists,\u201d Medium tracked the song\u2019s organic growth in this feature, and said, \u201c[\u2018Sometimes (Backwood)\u2019] is a torrent of raw emotion\u2026Let\u2019s see what gigi does next.\u201d
\u201cFigurines\u201d is the latest in a remarkable string of follow-up singles from gigi that include \u201cThe Man,\u201d \u201cWhen She Smiles\u201d and \u201cGlue.\u201d Depicting the life of a queer twenty-something with raw honesty and all-enveloping beauty, the songs showcase her blunt yet tender poetry amid windswept landscapes of acoustic guitars, swooping strings and delicate reverb.
