Acclaimed baroque pop singer/songwriter Gal Musette has just shared her first single for the year and it is an irresistible one. Called "Plateau", the song follows the French indie pop tune "Je vois le ciel", released last year.
With "Plateau", Gal Musette was inspired by time spent in bumper to bumper traffic. The song's dark meaning details everyday monotony and feelings of numbness. Lyrics including, "Always going out / Always coming home / Rushing to and from / Every day’s the same / Losing track of time", show how boredom can heavily influence one's mental state. Sonically, "Plateau" is a more upbeat affair complete with playful vocals singing floating melodies over warm synths and colorful landscapes. Gal's knack for writing fresh songs influenced by nostalgic musical offerings is uncanny.
Gal Musette is a rising songwriter who began composing and performing songs in her hometown of San Clemente in Orange County, California at the early age of 10. Since then, she has received recognition from the likes of Rufus Wainwright and The Magnetic Fields, both of whom collaborated with her. Gal's music often touches on existential themes with whimsical sonic backdrops. Take a listen to "Plateau" now and mix up your routine.
