Gabriel Jacoby is the best talent to come to R&B this decade
Spent the last week soaking up his music and I'm blown away with each listen. His lyricism, production, raw vocal talent with a voice that reaches high falsetto's and bellowing depths have all just got me hooked.
I haven't heard anything like this since... maybe Sonder? But while Brent came through with a gentle love album, GJ just has this range of music that goes from reflecting on love/relationships, family, hustling, to high energy party tracks. The orchestral jazz influence, touches of Prince and D'Angelo too, there's so much depth here to sink into.
Here's a couple stand outs:
- hello - some of that booming orchestral jazz
- brother and sister - reflections on family
- forever - reflections on insecurity in love
- bootleg - high energy track that I swear sounds like a 2000's Pharrell/Just Timberlake track
I highly recommend checking him out, you won't be disappointed
