Growing up in Lausanne, Switzerland, Imelda Gabs is a Belgian-Congolese artist who refuses to be boxed into any one style or genre. Studying the piano, violin and learning to sing from a young age, it wasn’t long before she started composing her own original material and began performing her music to live audiences.
Making her live debut at the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels, she joined her late father on stage, the jazz pianist known as Doctor Gabs before playing the W:Hall venue in Belgium alongside organ legend Rhoda Scott and Miriam Makeba’s former drummer Vic Jewel Pitts. Continuing her work collaborating with other artists, in 2017 she joined the Montreux Jazz Academy where she performed with the renowned bass player Marcus Miller, playing one of her first original songs “Heartbeat”.
With her studio music she made her introduction with her debut single “Fallen Angel” in 2020, followed up by the sophomore track “Alter Ego” the next year. Now she brings us her latest release with the new music video for her third single titled “Reckless”.
Dropped ahead of her upcoming debut full-length record, set for release this year, on “Reckless” she lays down her stunning vocal leads above a delicate arrangement of piano and strings. Soaring effortlessly, carrying captivating melodic lines, with her new song Imelda Gabs offers a vocal masterclass on a beautifully written song.
Accompanying the single is the music video directed by Dariy Mambetov with special effects from Louis Richard. Capturing a sci-fi inspired scene, the music video delivers the perfect wide-screen cinematic visual pairing to the artist’s latest astonishing orchestral dark pop single.
