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.
