Gabrielle’s vocals during Bees, the new Smoke Season single are reminiscent of legends like Tori Amos and Alanis Morrisette, all while forging her own unique path.
There is a much more raw and visceral sound to these vocals that will draw listeners in by the barrelful, while the instrumentation does a hell of a job updating a late nineties pop / rock sound into something current and contemporary. The additional vocal contributions by Jason during bees provide a fullness to the track that drastically increases its replay value. Bees is a track that we will be playing in NeuFutur HQ for months to come.
Rating: 8.8/10
