Diandra Reviews It All

Gabrielle Shonk is the feel good you tune in when feeling bad is turning you off. With a guitar in hand and a voice that heightens like winds picking up before a storm, Shonk’s self-titled debut is modern blues. When you think of this genre, it writhes with dramatic tensions and soul, which Shonk captures and dilutes into a stream of thoughts and wistful vocals.
Gabrielle Shonk – Raindrops (Audio)

Gabrielle Shonk is a simple songstress, which is what makes her powerful. “Free”, “Habit”, and “Missing Out” are simple stringed melodies that float Shonk’s vocals into your ears. She enraptures with how emotional her vocals can be without being theatrical or forceful. She just appears like a woman, casually strolling through her day, trying to delicately declare to herself and everyone else that she is doing her BEST! Who cannot relate to that?! That eagerness to show to everyone, while simultaneously, feeling like you are being your best at your job, your relationship, and yourself. Although English songs like “Raindrops” and “When We Were Young” really amp up that longing for inner peace, Shonk shines in her french tracks. “En Equlibre, “Par Plus Sans Moi”, and “Trop Tard” are romantic, acoustically guiding songs into one one’s heart, and its plight to find balance in one’s self with or without a partner. I think I speak for many human beings when I say, “AMEN!”. Trying to feel stable by yourself is an odyssey that Shonk approaches with maturity and softness. For however epic her themes or sentiments may be, each of her song’s melodies sound and cleanse like water falling upon your soul’s ocean. She does not want to bombard you with the heaviness of life; on the contrary her and her guitar are here to free your from it.
