Neo-Soul Newcomer Gabrielle Current Shares Latest Single “If I Fall”
With her debut EP Virgo due May 27th, Los Angeles-based neo-soul artist Gabrielle Current has shared her third single “If I Fall”. Utilizing the cool swagger of jazz with the crisp bounce of soul and R&B, the new track is brimming with self-reflection and growth encouraging a hopeful new beginning. “With this song, I wanted to capture how loss gave me a new understanding of myself as well as the habits and patterns we choose,” explains Gabrielle Current, “It was through the letting go that I gained an independence and a freedom that could only come from me.”
After a relationship met its end, Current drew inspiration and life lessons from the experience to craft her new sound. The glossy guitars, dreamy piano accompanyiment, and of course, Current’s glowing vocals open into a coming-of-age perspective about herself. She adds, “‘If I Fall’ is about falling in and out of love with someone then losing communication and contact with them. By reminiscing about the end of the relationship, I learned more about myself and the person who left me. I found it interesting how time away from that person brought a new perspective and closeness to the relationship we once had.”
Her newly announced Virgo EP will continue the trend of honest and heartfelt music, driven by its inclusive and loving spirit. “My main goal for music is to spread love and encourage community, it’s just how I was taught growing up”, Gabrielle mentions. “I’m proud of my Asian-American heritage and I’ve learned through my Filipino culture how important our values of family and togetherness is. There weren’t many Asian artists in music when I was younger, or artists that looked like me to begin with. So I hope to be a voice that inspires and shows that there is room for everyone in all genres/styles. My taste in music is as diverse as my ethnicity and my personality. I hope to connect with as many people as possible through the songs I share by not just being one thing“.
