Electro-pop is definitely where it’s at in 2015, and NYC’s Stalking Gia is on the verge of conquering the genre with her new single “Born Free.” The track is honest and passionate with a hint of angst – highlighted by a slight rasp in Gia’s voice that raises the hairs on the back of your neck.

The 21-year old’s sound has been compared to the likes of Lana Del Rey, Banks, and Tove Lo – but Stalking Gia is carving out a unique space of her own, with the potential to be the voice of a generation. Take a listen to “Born Free” below – which premiered at NYLON earlier this week.
