Soulful pop Los Angeles trio Gabriels have announced their much-anticipated debut album, Angels & Queens. The group has also shared the record’s future-funk-infused title track, which is available on all streaming platforms. The single’s memorable, light-hearted opening lyrics swirl into a poignant cut where frontman Jacob Lusk realizes just how deeply one can be affected by the person holding their heart—all while his ethereal voice soars to euphoria.
Produced by GRAMMY Award-winning and fellow Compton-native producer Sounwave, who has worked with the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Chloe x Halle and Beyonce, Angels & Queens will be released in two installments, with Part I arriving September 30th via Elektra Records. Part I is available for preorder now, with the second installment set for arrival in March 2023.
Gabrielsexpanded on the LP: “Our debut album Angels & Queens is a unique exploration of love and loss from each of our differing perspectives. We were planning to release our album next year, but got the opportunity to collaborate with some of the most amazing people who initially were strangers, but within weeks became family in the most mind blowing process.”
The group continued: “As the first part of the album was recorded, we knew we wanted to share it with you as soon as possible. We couldn’t be more excited to announce that Angels & Queens – Part I is coming this September, and Part II will follow in March. THANK YOU Sounwave and Beach Noise.”
Sounwave added: “I was instantly drawn in from the raw emotions and how limitless their range was. For this project we wanted to push the boundaries sonically that matched the intense and vulnerable feelings of each song.”
Later this month, Gabriels will also provide direct support for GRAMMY Award-winning musician Harry Styles at his residency arena tour dates at the Moody Center in Austin, TX, which launch on Sunday, September 25th and run through Monday, October 3. The group is also slated to perform at this year’s Austin City Limits festival on Friday, October 7 (Barton Springs Stage). The full itinerary of tour dates can be found below as well.
