Gabriels - Angels & Queens: Part I - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Soulful pop Los Angeles trio Gabriels have announced their much-anticipated debut album, Angels & Queens. The group have also shared the record's future-funk infused title track, which is available now on all streaming platforms. The single's memorable, light-hearted opening lyrics swirl into a poignant cut where frontman Jacob Lusk realizes just how deeply one can be affected by the person holding their heart-all while his ethereal voice soars to euphoria. Produced by GRAMMY Award-winning and fellow Compton-native producer Sounwave, who has worked with the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Chloe x Halle and Beyonce, Angels & Queens will be released in two installments. Gabriels expanded on the LP InchOur debut album Angels & Queens is a unique exploration of love and loss from each of our differing perspectives. We were planning to our album next year, but got the opportunity to collaborate with some of the most amazing people who initially were strangers, but within weeks became family in the most mind blowing process.Inch The group continued InchAs the first part of the album was recorded, we knew we wanted to share it with you as soon as possible. We couldn't be more excited to announce that Angels & Queens - Part I is coming this September, and Part II will follow in March. THANK YOU Sounwave and Beach Noise.Inch TRACKLISTING 1.

Frontman Jacob Lusk is nothing short of incredible on the trio's debut album, a powerful half-hour of top-tier songwriting that proves Gabriels are far more than soul revivalists. - This album highlights that Gabriels, having drafted Kendrick Lamar collaborator Sounwave as producer, are far more than revivalists. He helps craft a sound that feels entirely of the moment, and not merely because there's a constant, nagging sense of tumult and foreboding lurking behind even it's prettiest songs. There's certainly nothing retro about a track such as The Blind, where the beat is made of a stumbling, clattering array of samples, Lusk's vocal is drenched in backwards reverb and the piano and strings battle for space with droning, overcast synths. The orchestration that opens To the Moon and Back could have transported there directly from a 1940s jazz ballad, but it's swiftly replaced by a cavernous-sounding swirl of massed vocals and an insistent, cyclical bass riff. 2023 .

Reedy African flute, earthy wooden xylophone, thumb-plucked kalimba combined with other traditional African instruments are seamlessly blended with dub-style bass and treated with ethereal effects. This music has been described as spiritual food in the pop music desert.
