AFRO-SPANISH MUSICAN GABRIELA RICHARDSON WANTS HER MUSIC TO GIVE YOU AN INTENSE FEELING

If you’ve ever wondered about the unique experience of being a part of multiple cultures and hearing music that is a direct reflection of that, let us put you hip to Afro-Spanish artist Gabriela Richardson. Born in Barcelona, Spain we got the chance to learn all about her music and what’s next for her.

FEATURE INTERVIEW:

TALK TO US ABOUT YOUR NEW SONG REGGAE.
“Reggae!” was born in Paris. I traveled there to work with my friend Lewis. It was spring, and the
city was starting to look bright and beautiful. We were making a bunch of songs, almost one per
day.


One of those days, after breakfast, I told him that I really wanted to make a song people could dance
to, and he is the best at bringing those feelings out through music. He played me a song he had
started a while ago with a Raffaella Carrà sample. I began to compose a melody that captured the
feeling of promising yourself to live a healthy and peaceful life, but in the end, getting dazzled by
the night, the small talk, and the “I love you” from strangers.


HOW IS IT WORKING WITH LEWIS OFMAN? WHAT CONNECTION DO YOU ALL HAVE
THAT BRINGS OUT THE BEST IN MUSIC PROCESS?

We’ve been a few times in the studio together , its always very energetic. We are normally
just making music for so many hours that we forget to talk, I love it.

WHO ARE YOUR HEROES?
My mother and my grandmother. They are both strong , fragile and honest women that I
admire deeply.


HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR MUSIC?
Its a mix of different styles and references that changed the way that I saw things or gave me a very intense feeling.


WHAT LYRIC FROM YOUR LATEST SINGLE REGGAE IS YOUR FAVORITE AND WHY?
¿Por que esto que esta tan mal sienta tan bien? Its exactly the feeling that I wanted to
express in the song but in one sentence. Doing something that you know you will feel a bit
guilty after but you do it anyways as you want to feel the breeze I your skin.


WHO WOULD BE A DREAM COLLABORATION MUSICALY?
Tyler the creator, Arthur Verocai , Air. All of these artists gave me a moment in one of these
songs or even a whole album made me change the way that I understood music. For
example, I remember listening to ‘Na Boca Do sol’ by Arthur Verocai for the first time while
a friend was driving me around the island of Mallorca and that made me write for brass
even tho I never done that before and I made ‘Mononoke’ one of the songs that speak
more to the my upcoming alum.


WHAT IS YOUR BEAUTY ROUTINE ON TOUR?
Clean my face morning and night , also I love vitamin C serum!


WHAT BEAUTY PRODUCT IS A MUST ALWAYS FOR YOU?
Brown lip liner.

WHAT IS NEXT FOR YOU IN REMAINDER OF 2024?
My first studio album is coming this year. I’ve been almost 3/4 years working on this
album , I really don’t feel that I had to work on an specific concept because it took life by its
one. I listen to it know and its really all the music that influenced me growing up passing
through my channel and perspective.
