NYC electro-pop artist Stalking Gia has unveiled a stunning visual for her newest release, “Young Diana,” which premiered Monday on Earmilk.
The ‘making of’ style video features Gia in her element while in the studio with co-writer Deion Gil. Also featured is Brooklyn-based production duo Noise Club, frequent Stalking Gia collaborators and producers of Gia’s recent hit, “Second Nature.”
“[Young Diana].. has an effervescent shimmer that sways effortlessly like a smooth silk dress.” – Clark McCaskill; Earmilk
“Young Diana’ is a beckoning, sassy back-and-forth with Deion Gill, which adds an interesting, new element to Stalking Gia’s artistry. The production is smashing as well, as retro organ chords trade places with hi-hats for an instantly appealing sound.” – Chad Hillard; hillydilly

“Young Diana’ was created thanks to a Warner Chappell session. They paired Deion and I together, we met the same day we wrote the song. Originally it started out as a writing session for him, but it quickly turned into a duet,” Gia told hillydilly. “We were immediately inspired by the music that was being created in the room – the melodies came instantly off of the main guitar riff. We then got to talking about MJ’s Dirty Diana, which led to us talking about it allegedly being about Diana Ross, which led to the phrase ‘I could do you dirty like a Young Diana.’ [This track] is a little Gia, and a little Deion.”
