Gia Margaret - Good Friend [Video]

Gia Margaret has always had a gift for atmosphere, but with "Good Friend" she lets something else shine through: lightness. The Chicago-based singer-songwriter leans into a bright, feel-good mood here, letting the song breathe while weaving together a surprising mix of influences. Produced with Guy Sigsworth, the track brings together a handful of seemingly disparate ideas — even a touch of Gregorian chant — and somehow makes them feel effortless.

The cinematic video captures small, familiar moments shared between friends, perfectly matching the song’s warmth and ease. "Good Friend" appears on Singing, out April 24th via Jagjaguwar.

Reflecting on the track, Margaret says:

“I wrote ‘Good Friend’ in late 2019, after my first bigger US tour. I remember that it felt like glimpse of what my next album could be. It was fun and light in a way I hadn’t yet expressed with music. Little did I know, my next album(s) would be a result of cancelled tours and uncertain feelings about the future. I unearthed this song when I needed lightness in my creative process while recording ‘Singing’. It reminds me of what my good friends bring to my life during the worst of it. (And that music can be a good friend too.) It was produced by Guy Sigsworth and myself and a product of all things nostalgic to me. A little nod to the late 90s and my everlasting appreciation for weaving Gregorian Chant into pop music.”
