Their breakthrough single, 2020’s ‘Love and Hate In A Different Time’, caught the eye of Elton John early on, who called it “one of the most seminal records I’ve heard in the past 10 years”, and Lusk nodded to his past by reframing his mugshot as an intimate portrait on cover of 2021’s ‘Bloodline’ EP. Last month, Lusk joined Elton on stage at Glastonbury for a vibrant performance of ‘Are You Ready For Love?’ at what Elton has claimed might be “his final UK show”.

Notes

In a press release about Part I, the band called it a "unique exploration of love and loss from each of our differing perspectives" which they "were planning to release ... 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." Producer Sounwave said he 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." [1] Release [ edit ] Gabriels are a British-American three-piece band consisting of Jacob Lusk, Ryan Hope and Ari Balouzian. The band formed after meeting in Los Angeles in 2016. They were nominated for BBC Radio 1's Sound of... for 2023. [1] Formation [ edit ] Gabriels performed at the 22nd Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April 2023. [12] Discography [ edit ] Studio albums [ edit ] List of studio albums, with selected details and chart positions But while the last few years might seem like a rollercoaster for the group, Lusk has actually been moving in these celeb circles for years now. He joined Nate Dogg's gospel choir after responding to a Craigslist advert and auditioned four times for American Idol. The group is completed by self-penned “studio rats” Ari Balouzian (a classically trained California composer) and Ryan Hope (Sunderland-born video director). The pair spotted Lusk after working with him and his church choir on a Prada commercial. Now, Gabriels return with the much-anticipated completed version of their debut. a b c Franko, Vanessa (April 19, 2023). "Go behind the scenes at Coachella for Gabriels' festival debut".
