Excitement is building as the highly acclaimed South East London singer, songwriter, and musician GABZY concludes this year’s Somerset House summer series with a bang. On Sunday, July 16, music enthusiasts gathered for the final performance of the renowned 11-date gig series, where GABZY took the stage as the closing headline act. But that’s not all the rising star has in store for his fans.
In celebration of his sold-out Somerset House concert and as a heartfelt gesture to his dedicated supporters, the British Nigerian native has thrilled audiences with his latest single titled ‘HEAR ME OUT.’ The stunning slow burner comes on the heels of his recent hit ‘Jambazz,’ which quickly garnered over one million global streams within its first week of release, while GABZY himself reached an impressive milestone of two million monthly listeners on Spotify.
Penned by GABZY and produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Dera, known for his work with acclaimed artists like Bad Bunny, Jack Harlow, Major Lazer, and Diplo, ‘Hear Me Out’ is a mesmerizing guitar-driven slow jam infused with rich R&B melodies and captivating alté sensibilities. The song sees GABZY pouring his heart out to his significant other, attempting to prove that he has undergone a transformative change. With sharp lyricism, relatable songwriting, and undeniable vocal prowess, GABZY has already garnered over 100 million global streams since his debut EP ‘Summers’ catapulted him into the music scene.
When asked about the inspiration behind ‘Hear Me Out,’ GABZY shared, “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’.”
