SEPTEMBER <strong>2018</strong> | ISSUE #71 SEPTEMBER <strong>2018</strong> | ISSUE #71 | GABRIELLE FEATURE even different, but even if you’ve lost a limb, it doesn’t stop us being humans, or having feelings, we are people after all you know? Sometimes you have to speak up and not suffer in silence. For example, if someone is bullying you, you go and tell someone. R: What track do you enjoy listening to the most on the new album? Oh my god, again, I’ll tell you, there’s ‘Show Me’ and I love ‘Shine’, I have also got a song called ‘Every Step’, I wrote that for a friend of mine who was going through a really bad time in her relationship and like myself, I am not good at taking advice but I am good at giving it. The fact I came out and was able to showcase it and show people that you can reach your full potential no matter what the issue is was important to me. You can’t tell a close friend to walk away from it all, even though you’d like to, it’s not your place, so I thought ok, all you can do is sit and listen. R: Thank you for answering that question, I didn’t want to raise it if you didn’t want to discuss it? So I wrote ‘Every Step’ for them. There are so many different songs; ‘Thank You’ is one we put out for the fans. Oh no, I am one of these people who are very open, I think the more you can speak about stuff the more people can be inspiring, you just have to accept yourself and be proud of who you are. R: Is it the same music style we are used to hearing? Oh… so on this album its very much, people keep saying, not me, ‘classic Gabrielle’. I am happy to talk about it but you must know, I’ve go more rabbit than Sainsburys [laughs] Gab by name and Gab by nature [laughs] I’ve gone off and done country music and things in the past, but this album is pop with the contrast of old school retro, with a bit of soul. R: Bless you! [laughs] Your back now with your 6th studio album, ‘Under My Skin’… can you tell us more about that? If you hear it, you’ll have a better understanding. There’s Gabrielle soul in there! I am loving it, because it took a while, 11 years, and now it’s just a case, of doing show cases around the country. R: Thank you so much for your time, wishing you all the very best for the album launch! It’s such a fun time because it had been so long, and I felt my audience were truly worthy of new material because I have been singing the same stuff for the last 11 years and beyond! It’s great to be back. It’s a pleasure to have talked to you. You take care my darling. More information about www.gabrielle.co.uk 43 43
