If you have been sleeping on Gabrielle Lynn, It is time to wake up.
And if you’ve been anywhere near Times Square in New York lately, you’ve probably spotted the larger-than-life billboard for “Life’s Been Crazy” – the #1 song on Spotify’s Independent Artist chart. The voice behind this smash hit belongs to none other than Gabrielle Lynn, the rising R&B artist captivating audiences with her heartfelt lyrics and soulful melodies.
Her new track, is pure fire, but it’s also deeply personal and vulnerable as she opens up a window into her personal journey, showing the resilience and determination required to pursue one’s dreams.
“Life’s Been Crazy” which she describes as “a truly beautiful song rooted in perseverance and faith, while keeping up the momentum with big dreams and big goals,” stands out as Gabrielle’s most intimate and revealing work to date. The track narrates the challenges faced by a single mother of two, battling against the odds to achieve her dreams. It’s an anthem showing Gabrielle’s emotional depth, as it was created to inspire listeners to chase their ambitions, regardless of the obstacles. The track is produced by two-time Grammy-winning and multi-platinum selling producer, DeMario “RioTheyNeedahit” Bridges, and his talent shines through in the impeccable production quality.
Gabrielle’s rise to prominence as an independent artist is nothing short of remarkable. With hits like “Love Me for Life,” “My Forever Lover,” and “Close to Me,” which have not only helped her amass millions of streams, but also helped her secure a spot on Billboard’s Top 100 Independent Artists to Watch List and Source Magazine’s Rising Hits List. Her success is bolstered by her collaborations with DeMario Bridges, who has crafted hits like “Ring” for Cardi B, Ashanti’s first record, and other tracks for artists like Jill Scott, BjTheChicagoKid, and K.Michelle.
But Gabrielle’s talents extend beyond singing. A gifted songwriter, she has penned tracks for Leela James and placed six of her own compositions in the movie “Queen Rising.” Her songs “I Need Ya,” “Something About You,” “On The Moon,” “Break My Soul,” “Let Go,” and “Kissing You” were part of the soundtrack for the 2024 hit movie, showing her storytelling prowess.
Released less than a month ago, “Life’s Been Crazy” has already soared to the top of Spotify’s independent artist charts, reflecting its widespread acclaim. After listening to the track, I took away the fact that her vocals were absolutely mesmerizing. Her voice has an ethereal and soft quality that just grabs you. But it’s her songwriting that really sets her apart – the lyrics are so raw and honest, you can’t help but feel every emotion.
Right now, Gabrielle is an indie darling, but with a voice and pen game like hers, it’s only a matter of time before the major labels come knocking since she’s been garnering tons of interest while collaborating closely with her hit-making producer DeMario Bridges.
“Life’s Been Crazy” is just the beginning – this woman is a true artist with an inspiring story and the skills to back it up. Get familiar now before everyone else is late to the party.
