Gabrielle Ornate is a bohemian songstress based in Suffolk who makes ethereal rock you can’t shake off. Fusing modern-age mythology with an ethereal rock edge and classic pop sensibility, the artist’s music serves as an anthem for enlightenment and ascension, seeking to give a voice to female empowerment and inspire people to tap into their divine selves.
Ornate defies genre and boundaries, and her rocking new single is only a hint of her limitless creativity. “Stolen Faces” is an explosive, rocking, gothic-tinted piece of hard rock that wastes no time. Upon pressing play, you are thrown into a whirlwind of chugging melodies, searing guitars, and acrobatic vocals that cascade around the arrangement, adding a sharper edge to the already jagged performance. Underneath the daring yet welcoming arrangement and stunning vocals is a vague poetry that shapes the narrative of “Stolen Faces.” Ornate lets out bellowing croons of vulnerability and paints a dark image, only to emerge from the shadows of her past with a refreshing outlook on life. There are elements of metal, hard rock, and gothic rock on “Stolen Faces,” but at the end of the day, Ornate is undeniably an individualist. The artist’s new single is a face-melting example of her sprawling artistry, equal parts neck-breaking rock and personal journey through the artist’s perspective.
“‘Stolen Faces’ was born out of a nightmare and is my way of turning negativity into positivity,” explains Ornate. “It’s all about conquering your inner demons, pondering the uncertainty of the future, and what it feels like to be lost in the unknown.”
