Gabrielle

I mean, I'm still a bit citation needed on your claims about The Blue Tones, as much as I love Sl- Slight Return, but when they come back with their next album, I will be a bit more on board.

Number 22, the vague booking queen from last week, If You Really Cared by Gabrielle, um, PM Me Hon, et cetera.

Down from 15 last week.

Second and penultimate week on the top 40.

Because with the last one, Inspired was obviously loads of different songs to mention, but I think it was Oasis that I thought that was going to be like the anchor of the book.

And this time it was Gabrielle.

So soon dreams can come true.

So that was like kind of like the anchors for this book that Teddy and Virtuous Relationship was built around specifically.

Moving on to 15, where we've got another new entry.

It's Gabrielle.

She's back with a new single called If You Really Cared.

Let's have a listen and then we'll have a chat.

Like

nothing comes All along, telling me a lie If you really cared, cared about me Then you wouldn't care about, care about us If you cared about me

You just heard a little bit of If You Really Cared by Gabrielle, a new entry at number 15 this week.

The third single from Gabrielle's second eponymous album following tracks called Forget About The World that got to number 23.

She's also very generous with her advice.

And when she released Dreams, I said to my partner about four weeks before, I'm going to do Dreams by Gabrielle.

That would be really good.

and she really released it and it went viral and it went amazing she deserves it she did it before me I always say like there's ideas that come down and whoever gets them first they deserve it do you know what I mean and it used me at everything I had the track made and everything she released it and I messaged her I went Chelsea I was just about to release that she went still do it I said I'm not going to do it now am I like with how incredible your version is I'd just be embarrassing myself but like I'd release like when I first started releasing music it wasn't good I'm doing

We put it out ourselves, et cetera.

We went and toured with Gabrielle.

We just did an independent thing, but we were just a little bit too ahead of the wave to do that independent thing.

In America, you had Bad Boy, you had Death Row, and then you can go back to the labels that have done it.

So when that individual came to us and said, I want to leave, as a band, we weren't ready to stop.

But that definitely was catastrophic for us because the four of us then had to go and complete the shows that were already booked in.

then it naturally came to a time where we tried to move somewhere else musically it wasn't happening um and during that time what was that sorry so we we we moved into a funk rock sound okay um so i got on the drums one of the guys had got on the guitar one got on the keys jade was front in with live vocals he was a lead singer and still damaged it was still damaged and we were touring the UK with Gabrielle and she was you know still is huge but she was huge at that time so we were really transitioning into this funk rock sound and it was working but once we we called it a day um the four of us realized that we needed another vocalist.

And we said, we need a woman.
