January Updates! [Midwest tour, new album, new video]

Behold all things are made new.. January is all about planning for February and beyond. Glad to get back on task after the insanity of the last few months. Thank you for all the prayers, condolences, and positive energy many of you sent regarding the loss of my mother and brother-in-law. I appreciate all of you and thank you for your love & support. MUAH! Alright now, shout out to my new assistant, Lyday Patterson, who will be working to help me make an impact both as an artist and as a company, Starting Something Productions, Inc. Big tings a gwan! And February is a BUSY month. I'll be in Texas for the latter half of the month with a stop in Seattle, but next week, I hit the road next week for a mini-tour in the midwest: 2/5- University of Central Missouri 2/6- Avila University 2/7- University of Missouri- St Louis For a complete list of dates, go to my Calendar. Hope to see you soon! And if you want to book me, drop me a line at info@shanellegabriel.com. ------ Aim High: The Album  I've been in the JahRock'n Productions studio ALL week getting this new album wrapped. AIM HIGH is going to be an AMAZING project. The next few months are going to be intense, but I'm really looking forward to sharing my stories, my poetry, my music, my lyrics with you. This album features some dope friends of mine: Kel Spencer, Livewire, Heesun Lee, and GreyMatter, all dope artists that rep NYC as well as the awesome Willie Hyn who's holds it down in Atlanta and a cameo from YouTube star/ comedian/ poet SpokenReasons. Production by Chris "Theory" Bradley, DJ Static, Marshall "Soulful" Jones, and Team JahRock'n. I can't wait to let you all hear it!     ------ Video: "Daddy's Girls" (Live from Urban Grind in Atlanta) Here's a poem I created for my father. I'm a bonafied Daddy's Girl, and proud of it. Thought I'd share my first off-book live performance I did at ATL's Urban Grind last month. To see it CLICK HERE-> http://youtu.be/XzBzzCi7Qbo ------- Till next time, Stay Blessed!!

Photo Recap: "Intensities" Show featuring Shanelle Gabriel & The Hypnotic Brass Band

My show at Highline Ballroom was awesome! I think, with the exception of one minor glitch during my cover of "Love On Top", this was the most on point show I've done with my band. We performed Crushing Hard, Love On Top by Beyonce, More Than One of a Kind, Vanity, and Aim High. Later on that night, I performed a poem with the Hypnotic Brass Band (who killed their set as usual!). It was an amazing night! Here are some photos:

My Impromptu Snippet of "Before You Walk Out My Life" by Monica

Live at Highline Ballroom. This was TOTALLY unplanned. My keyboardist started playing it and someone in the crowd recognized it. I decided to sing just the first verse and continue with the rest of the show, but the audience seemed to want a lil more...So I gave em a bit more. lol
