Gabrielle’s new single ‘A Place In Your Heart’ is out today. Taken from the album of the same name, due for release on May 10th 2024, now available to pre-order / pre-save HERE.
The single is Radio 2’s Record of The week on launch with a premier on R2’s Zoe Ball show this morning (18th Jan) Listen to the single HERE.
The single ‘A Place In Your Heart’ is a perfect taster for the album showcasing Gabrielle’s instantly recognisable smoky soulful voice at it’s very best. The single was premiered during her recent sold out 32 date 30 Years of Dreaming UK and Ireland tour which saw her headline the Royal Albert Hall.
Gabrielle says, “I’m thrilled to be kicking off 2024 with new music, A Place In Your Heart is the lead song from my new album of the same name. I loved performing the song during my 30 Years of Dreaming tour, it’s a booty shaker and I look forward to playing it at lots of festivals in the summer too”.
The new album ‘A Place In Your Heart’ captures everything that fans adore Gabrielle for: that unique soulful voice, full of emotion, vulnerability and yearning; song writing that has the ability to pick you up and take you along, warming, classic and timeless showcasing why after decades at the top of her game Gabrielle is more relevant than ever and respected by fans and peers alike.
‘A Place In Your Heart’ continues her creative partnership with producer and co-writer Ian Barter (Paloma Faith, Amy Winehouse) after their success with 2018’s Top 10 comeback ‘Under My Skin’ and 2021’s ‘Do It Again’ – which became her highest charting album in twenty years when it debuted at #4.
From the early ‘90s to the turn of the millennium, Gabrielle was one of the UK’s most successful artists. With two unforgettable #1 smashes (‘Dreams’ and ‘Rise’), a back catalogue full of Top 10 hits, two albums which reached 4 x Platinum status, two BRIT Awards, two MOBOs and an Ivor Novello, everything she touched seemed to turn to gold.
But after some time away, she suddenly found herself in the middle of a victory lap in which she not only reconnected with original fans but was embraced by a new generation too. It was kickstarted by her show-stealing performances in ‘The Masked Singer’, leading to her 2021 album ‘Do It Again’ album entering the charts at #4 – her highest chart position in twenty years. She was also heralded as a pivotal influence by the iconic artists of this era, first with a personal invite from Adele to perform at her huge Hyde Park shows, and then when Stormzy asked her to appear in the video for ‘Mel Made Me Do It’. The track’s dramatic monologue directly referenced her cultural impact: “Gabrielle once told us dreams can come true, and that sentence emancipated the minds of our pioneers.”
Gabrielle continues her live outings throughout 2024 with a busy schedule which includes a headline at Mighty Hoopla on Jan 28th, 4 dates with Tom Jones and a headline at Durham’s iconic Cathedral in July.
