NEW ARTIST: Listen To Maggie Gabbard’s Awesome Single ‘The Reason Is Here’
We love introducing you to new singers here at OnePopz and the latest pop starlet we've been impressed by is the stunning Maggie Gabbard!
The 18 year old singer recently premiered her brand new single 'The Reason Is Here' and it's effortlessly cool. Maggie's soulful vocals power over some seriously infectious hip hop beats to create what's easily one of our favourite tracks this year. We could definitely see it soaring up the charts at some point in the near future.So who is Maggie Gabbard? She was born in Kentucky and has been singing ever since a very young age. Maggie has always had an obsession with songwriting and she names Norah Jones, Mary J. Blige and Alicia Keys as some of her biggest idols. Her father's varied record collection also had a large influence on her music too.
Whilst putting a new twist on the hip hop genre, we'd say that Maggie's sound is somewhere between pop and R&B. It's a perfect combination and follows in the success of Jhené Aiko who we'd say is quite similar in ways.
'The Reason Is Here' includes production credits from Bel Heir's Ian Walsh and it's already been added to many pop playlists. The song features on Maggie's incredible debut album 'Luminosity' which is available for purchase now here on iTunes. It's definitely worth checking out; there's some absolutely fantastic tracks on there.
Maggie's first single from the record was 'Freakshow' and you can watch the official music video for that here. We reckon the song would have been perfect for the soundtrack of American Horror Story's latest season.
