GAYLE – Observing Chaos
After storming back last month with new single “junebug!,” which earned widespread editorial support including Spotify’s New Music Friday, Apple’s New Music Daily, and Amazon’s Breakthrough Pop, and had Billboard declaring it the perfect song that “captures the carefree chaos that kicks off summer,” multi-platinum singer/songwriter GAYLE today follows it up with one of her most intensely emotional singles yet: the piano-anchored ballad “loving you is.”
GAYLE says at its core “loving you is” centers on learning to love yourself and, quite frankly, deciding to no longer tolerate the emotional distress of a toxic relationship.
“I wrote “loving you is” about coming to terms with the fact that I didn’t know how I deserved to be treated,” GAYLE admits. “After taking five million steps back, I realized how frustrated I am for accepting behavior that no one should have to go through and I’ll never let that happen to me again!”
“You made me hate myself/so I could love us,” the singer contends at the outset of the new single – a palpable emotional release from the Grammy-nominated musician.
GAYLE is also thrilled to officially announce the release date of her forthcoming new full-length LP: Observing Chaos, which she co-wrote and co-produced, is due out on September 18!
GAYLE, who has previously toured with multi-platinum artists including Taylor Swift, P!NK, Cyndi Lauper, Tate McRae, AJR and My Chemical Romance, has spent the better part of the past few years finding her emotional center. Following the whirlwind that followed the outsize success of her double-platinum anthem “abcdefu,” the singer took much-needed time to work on herself, her emotions, and, most importantly, learn exactly who she is as an adult — all topics she mines on her upcoming new LP.
To that end, Observing Chaos finds GAYLE at her most open and honest — dissecting the positive and negative choices in life, falling in and out of love, trust, heartbreak, partying, and the mania that encompasses life between the ages of 17 to 21.
Having recently launched a new fan club, the g spot, GAYLE is set to play her forthcoming new album directly to her fans via a road trip that will include album listening sessions and exclusive experiences.
A 22-year-old Nashville-based singer/songwriter who garnered global attention with her bold music, GAYLE is excitingly entering an exciting new era of her career. Her breakout single “abcdefu” achieved multi-platinum status, topping international charts and earning her a GRAMMY nomination for “Song of the Year.” Her EP, a study of the human experience volume one, made with producers including Noah Conrad, Ryan Linvill, and Pete Nappi, introduced her as a bold new voice in pop music, while its follow-up, volume two, delved deeper into themes of vulnerability and authenticity, with tracks like “god has a sense of humor” and”indieedgycool” highlighting her fearless songwriting approach.
In addition to her own work, GAYLE co-wrote and performed “Butterflies,” a reimagined version of Crazy Town’s “Butterfly” for the Barbie movie soundtrack album, produced by Mark Ronson. She has also written for major artists like Kelly Clarkson and Roddy Ricch, and collaborated with artists such as Lauren Spencer-Smith, Em Beihold, and blackbear. Her television appearances include major shows including The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and The Late Late Show with James Corden. Accolades include being featured on Billboard’s “21Under21” list, appearing in Variety’s “Power of Young Hollywood Impact Report for 2022, and being named a YouTube Artist On The Rise as well as an MTV Global Push Artist.
GAYLE has amassed an impressive global audience with more than 2.5 million social followers, 5 million monthly listeners across DSPs, 2.9 billion career streams, and 9.7 billion YouTube views. In the last 30 days alone, she’s earned more than 10 million streams across DSPs and 27 million YouTube views.
