Following her big reveal as Harlequin on ‘The Masked Singer’ on Saturday night (Feb 6), Gabrielle returned to music on Monday with a brand new single and album announcement.
The Dreams singer stopped by Zoe Ball’s breakfast show on BBC Radio 2 to premiere Stop Right Now – the lead track from new LP, ‘Do It Again’, due March 5.
Showcasing the star’s trademark raspy vocals, the piano and drum-driven track holds its own among Gabrielle’s classic ’90s hits, hinting towards an album that stays true to the star’s musical roots.
“If we stop right now / I won’t be crying, think we should try it / If we stop right now / think we can try to make it right,” she sings in the upbeat chorus.
An official music video sees Gabrielle performing the single while working on the track in the studio.
Of the album, which features stellar studio recordings of the songs that Gabrielle performed on ‘The Masked Singer’ plus two new compositions, she says: “I have loved putting my own stamp on the songs I sang on The Masked Singer along with some of my favourite covers and two new songs I wrote.
“The new single Stop Right Now was written with Ben Cullum. It’s a song I’ve wanted to release for a while and I would dance to it in my kitchen. I always felt it needed to see the light of day! I am so happy that day has come.
“I’m really excited for people to hear this album and I hope they enjoy my take on the covers and the new songs too.”
Cover versions on ‘Do It Again’ include Billie Eilish’s Everything I Wanted and Harry Styles’ Falling, while the star also revisits classics such as Smile and Fast Car.
