South East London singer, songwriter, and musician Gabzy is ready to end this year’s Somerset House summer series with a bang. The concert, set for Sunday, July 16, marks the final performance of the well-regarded 11-date gig series, and it’s already sold out. This milestone has Gabzy releasing a brand new single titled ‘Hear Me Out’ as a token of gratitude to his burgeoning fan base.
Gabzy, a British Nigerian talent, has seen his previous single ‘Jambazz’ exceed one million global streams in its first week. He has also gained an impressive following on Spotify, with over two million monthly listeners.
The newly unveiled ‘Hear Me Out,’ which Gabzy wrote and Grammy Award-winning producer Dera produced, promises to continue this upward trend. Dera has previously worked with major artists such as Bad Bunny, Jack Harlow, Major Lazer, and Diplo.
The song, a captivating guitar-led slow jam, displays Gabzy’s expertise in intertwining R&B melodies and alté sensibilities. In it, Gabzy opens his heart, striving to convince his love interest that he’s transformed. ‘Hear Me Out’ also showcases Gabzy’s impressive lyrical and vocal prowess that has contributed to his impressive 100 million global streams since his debut EP, Summers.
According to Gabzy, ‘Hear Me Out’ is a song that empathizes with those who’ve found themselves in relationships that haven’t quite worked out. It delves into the moment of desperation when it seems everything is going wrong, and efforts are made to salvage the relationship. It paints the picture of an intense argument and a desperate plea for another chance.
From the onset, Gabzy has been making waves in the UK music scene. His 2019 collaborative EP with New York-based producer Melvitto, ‘Summers’, put him on the map with his unique blend of R&B, soul, and afrobeats. The subsequent solo EP, ‘Malone‘, and his sophomore effort, ‘At The End Of The Night‘, further fueled his rise, culminating in a successful sold-out UK tour.
Gabzy’s passion for music, introspective lyrics, mesmerizing melodies, and strong vocals continue to differentiate him in the UK’s musical landscape. His unique fusion of styles and soundscapes has won him millions of listeners globally and recognition from platforms including BBC Radio 1, MTV Base, BBC 1Xtra, KISS FM, Capital Xtra, Complex, PAUSE Magazine, The NATIVE, and GRM Daily.
As he steps onto the Somerset House stage, Gabzy is undoubtedly a rising star in both the UK and global music scenes. Listen to ‘Hear Me Out’ below!
