Gabrielle - Rise

[Shoat]

If someone commanded Chat GPT to write a Gabrielle song, "Don't Need The Sun" is what it would come up with. Bland and boring even by her standards.

Why doesn't "Don't Need The Sun To Shine" get the recognition it deserves, it's absolutely gorgeous

I like it but it came at the tail end of her success, it was off the Greatest Hits & after that was released I don't think she had any further hits. So it's a little forgotten about.

How hot does Chucky Ven look in the vid? What a dream

Don’t Need the Sun to Shine is nice. I can’t think of anything else to say about it other than it’s far from her best.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Absolutely hate it. Far too joyful, yet meek at the same time.

Rise was lovely.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Surprised I gave Rise a 5. Now I'm elderly it's more likely an 8.

 

[Inner Smile]

This is how I feel! WOAH OH!

 

[K.C.]

Rise is an absolute 10/10 for me. So moody, so melancholy.

 

[Inner Smile]

She's had some proper gems. Fantastic in her day

I'm upgrading Rise to a 9/10

Being reminded of the turgid "Don't Need The Sun..." makes her other songs sound MUCH BETTER

SPOTIFY COUNT GEEK TIME - anyone have any idea why "Fallen Angel", an (admittedly lovely) album track from her doomed 2004 era, has broken out and started beating out some of her actual hits?
