In 2021, UK-LA trio Gabriels’ two EPs gifted us astonishing songs such as Innocence, choir director Jacob Lusk’s eaves-shaking vocals spotlit in a sparse orchestral setting that invoked the holy dread of foundational 1940s rhythm and blues. This release – last year’s debut album, Angels & Queens Part 1, buttressed by six newer songs – is just as extraordinary. Lusk, with bandmates Ryan Hope and Ari Balouzian, reassembles elements of R&B’s past into fascinating new forms, pin-sharp digital production creating pleasurable dissonance with the analogue velvet of Lusk’s voice.Amour, Cheri (July 6, 2023).

Speaking about Angels & Queens and elaborating on its two-part release, Gabriels said in a statement: “Our debut album 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.” As the first part of the album was recorded, we knew we wanted to share it with you as soon as possible,” they continued. “We couldn’t be more excited to announce that Angels & Queens – Part 1 is coming this September, and Part II will follow in March. THANK YOU Sounwave and Beach Noise.” At the 2023 Brit Awards the band were nominated in the International group of the year category.

For this project we wanted to push the boundaries sonically that matched the intense and vulnerable feelings of each song." [1] Release [ edit ] Kambasha, Michelle (October 3, 2022).
