As fast-rising South East London singer-songwriter and musician Gabzy close out his 11-date headline show at Somerset House summer series he delivers his new single "Hear Me Out" to celebrate the sold-out show. The British Nigerian native delivers a slow burner that is ripe with raw emotions and heartfelt lyrics such as "Baby I, did wrong, yes I know/ A dog in the past, let it go/ If you don't let it go, then tell me how we grow/ If you never come home, tell me where I go?". Over the sublime guitar-driven soundscape provided by Grammy Award-winning producer Dera, Gabzy bears his heart out to his leading lady as he tries to prove that he’s a changed man. ‘
Speaking about the inspiration behind "Hear Me Out", Gabzy says, “In terms of the song and what it represents, it speaks for everyone that’s been in a relationship that hasn’t necessarily worked. You know when you get to that turning point where it feels like everything is just going wrong – this song captures that battle for the relationship. I’m trying to prove to my girl that I’m a changed person, but as they say, ‘your past always catches up with you’. For the listeners, I want them to feel like they’re in the middle of our intense argument, and it’s like ‘woah this could really be it’.
Emerging from South East London, Gabzy is rapidly establishing himself as one of the UK’s most exciting talents. He stepped into the spotlight with Summers, his 2019 collaborative EP with New York-based producer Melvitto, with fans and critics alike falling in love with his unique blend of R&B, soul and afrobeats. Gabzy’s first solo EP Malone garnered further critical acclaim and rave reviews, leading to a sold-out headline show at the prestigious Islington Assembly Hall. His artistic evolution continued with last year’s sophomore EP At The End Of The Night, which culminated in a hugely successful sold-out UK tour, including two consecutive nights at the renowned KOKO in Camden.
"Hear Me Out" also comes on the back of his latest single "Jambazz’ blasting past one million global streams in its first week, and Gabzy surpassing two million monthly listeners on Spotify.
