Gabrielle Essentials

Gabrielle is one of the most iconic British R&B singers of the '90s. Known for her gentle, easygoing vocals, the London-born singer instantly found success in 1993 with her anthemic debut “Dreams”, which features her smooth voice alongside muted drums and stirring strings. The trademarks of the Brill Building's finest are etched on her 1996 hit “Give Me a Little More Time”, a classic tune underlined with a steady tempo and upbeat horns, but she's also explored an earthier, Motown-esque vibe with "Why", adding some grit to her famed voice.
