British house/R&B vocalist Gabrielle began her career telling for dislodge in London West End clubs whilst temping in offices during the clarence Day. Her bad break came when she recorded a demonstration, called "Dreams," based around Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car," which after fell into the hands of an A&R man at London's Go! Beat records. The track was re-recorded without the Chapman sample and all over up in the Guinness Book of Hit Singles as the highest U.K. graph entrance for a debut female play, topping the charts for trey weeks. With the hit came a head-turning image, fill in with kiss curls and beady eye patch as Gabrielle's right eye has a drooped palpebra. Ignoring cosmetic surgery, she turned what mightiness have been seen an double reversal into a virtue that place her apart from the throng.


Her debut album, Find Your Way, sold over a one thousand thousand copies cosmopolitan, and paved the way for her sophomore, self-titled record album, released in 1996 and produced by the Boilerhouse Boys. In trey short old age, those deuce albums and nine singles -- five-spot of which were Top Ten -- established Gabrielle as the U.K.'s premier mortal vocalizer, wide-cut of hellenic psyche connotations (Marvin Gaye, Barry White, Bobby Womack) but besides influenced by early-'80s British pop (Mortal II Soul, Lisa Stansfield, Mantronix).


In 2000, Gabrielle followed up with her fitly highborn tierce album, Rise, which followed a unmanageable time for her personally and creatively. Widely publicized reports concerning her ex-partner's criminal article of faith threatened to overshadow her melodious accomplishments, not to credit her creative potency. The songs on Rise spoke of optimism, romanticism, devotion, and a dandy survival instinct. The lead-in undivided, "Sun," was a enlivened give thanks you to those friends you have on hand to hike your confidence when you're low. The album's claim track samples Bob Dylan's hellenic "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" with his rare seal of favourable reception. 2001's cosmopolitan strike "Out of Reach" was the feature track from the St. Bride Jones's Diary soundtrack.
