Gabby Martin- Cologne

What struck me the first time I heard this song was the way that Gabby Martin’s vocals punch you in the gut. Like a James Bond theme, she pulls us into her story with hypnotic sweeping melodies. Her varied influences of Radiohead to Alicia Keys show how she is influenced by the way songs can evoke emotions and take you on a journey.

With only three releases under her belt, Gabby Martin is a singer-songwriter who has been writing songs which feel relatable and dramatic, with a focus on lyrics and stories.

In ‘Cologne’, there is an effortless lightness in Gabby Martin’s voice which contrasts with the song’s grungey riffs and tense harmonies and just like perfume, the song will linger long after it has stopped playing.
