Artist: Gaelle (pronounced guy-elle)
Album: Transient
Label: Naked Music
Now, I’ve known Gaelle since the early 90s. Who would have guessed she would end up living on campus next to one of my best friends. Even after our first encounter, I could tell there was something very special about her. Maybe it was the intensity in her eyes or the soothing sound of her voice. Either way, I was in love. But like most great love stories, a series of tragic events and bad decisions would bring a close to that chapter of our lives.
Gaelle is a New Jersey native, by way of her Haitian roots but calls Atlanta home. She has worked with various artists from Atlanta’s own Chris Brann to Cee-lo Green (Goodie Mob).
After 4 years of meticulous preparation, late nights and several thousand cups of coffee, Gaelle and her partner, co-producer Eric Stamile, have created an emotional, sensual masterpiece that blends so many genres of music that it defies categorization. It doesn’t realty fit into any one box. Transient is an intoxicating, hypnotic blend of R&B rhythms with a rich mix of house, jazz and neo-soul. Her lyrics are deeply emotional, personal, sometimes tragic yet inspiring.
Keep an eye out for Gaelle, her star is rising, and if by chance she’s playing in a town near you, I highly recommend you check it out. You won’t be disappointed.
