Born and raised in Manchester, with a multicultural upbringing steeped in soulful music, Gizelle was destined to follow in the footsteps of her father, Joe Smith, the former guitarist, musical director and songwriter for Motown stalwarts The Four Tops. In a style that's often riddled with overused cliches, the charismatic songstress adds plenty of her flavor and character, rather than slavishly copying icons from decades past. The sound and the vintage instruments serve the energy of the time: soulful, raw, eager for frantic dance steps and sweating the groove.

Dry rhythm, fat copper, round organ and of course the undulating, solar and powerful voice of Gizelle, it's all there... Yesterday is the new tomorrow for this black panther of soul! A must for those who appreciate Nicole Willis and Alice Russell.

A unique combination of R&B and funk, but the singer doesn’t shy away from experimenting with pop and rock stylings. With her impressive yet restrainedly candid voice, laced with a combination of coolness and sensitivity that’s near impossible to mimic, Gizelle communicates authenticity, a completely fraught concept and one absolutely central to her art. In many ways, Revealing is a testament to Gizelle’s musical growth, personal freedom and maturity.
