Play 90 second soundbite of 'Snakebite' @ 'CD quality'
Young takes genre blurring to extremes here as she carefully throws together just about everything from swing to pop, visiting nu-folk, rock and jazz along the way - extremely extreme but amazingly absorbing, nothing more nothing less! Complete with her impressive and 'big' sounding Other Animals, Young blasts, croons and screams her way through four incredibly different tracks as she re-writes the definition of avant-garde and makes experimentation seem like second nature.
Young's beautiful and versatile vocal talents are given an proper airing here - Young's amazing range and dynamic depth are showcases superbly as she visits places vocally where most wouldn't even try to go in their wildest dreams. Young's songwriting is just as diverse and challenging as her delivery - from sweet and mournful to bright and breezy, she appears to be able to do just about anything with her God-given musical gifts. Stopping just short of the 'cultish', Gabby Young offers just enough commercialism to get a break just as long as the promoters, radio stations and the like find it in themselves to be flexible and open minded. Anyway, I believe it would be incredibly short-sighted, bordering on musical suicide, to deny this amazingly talented lady her chance to reach the millions. Let them to make their own minds up about whether she's what the people want. My guess is that air-play would generate masses of interest. Let's face it there's not enough diversity out there and Gabby Young has it in abundance.
'Bear With Me' by Gabby Young is an experience that you just shouldn't miss; Young is offering us a chance to partake of something vastly different from the norm. Gabby Young is as exciting as she is fresh so come on you influential types, give her a go - with different comes challenge, with diverse comes risk, with avant-garde comes possible rejection but, if Gabby Young is not given a decent 'suck of the old sauce bottle' you'll never know and neither will we!! Gabby Young is a special talent but needs help to achieve he just deserves - let the masses hear her for themselves - the world will be a better place with Gabby Young And Other Animals at its heart!! Breathtaking and compelling this!
