R&B/soul
singer-songwriter Gail Belmonte has released her debut single ‘Tonight’, via Singapore-based
indie label Umami Records.
A
chill track with that feel-good fairy dust sprinkled on top, ‘Tonight’ is about
enjoying the night, slowing down and taking the time to soak in its magical
beauty.
“I’m
quite the night owl and work best during the nighttime, so I decided to write a
whole song about how much I love the night,” Gail shares the details about her
new song. “In writing ‘Tonight’, I felt a sense of safety in the night, and I
wanted to portray that in the most comfortable and magical way possible - and
that’s throwing a bit of love in there. The most important thing to me is that
it’s completely okay to feel vulnerable on your own in the dark of night, and
it is okay to slow down every once in a while and let the night time take over.”
Gail’s
voice is a formidable instrument that fits the song’s easygoing charm and
brimming sensuality. Her singing style works pretty well in the context of
flowy arrangements and vintage sounds, and it somehow finds fascinating corners
within Tonight’s urban pop
appeal.
Born
and raised in Singapore, of Filipino descent, Gail Belmonte started singing and
performing from an early age, and has won and appeared in numerous singing
competitions in Singapore and Philippines since 2016. The upcoming
singer-songwriter made her theatre debut in Pangdemonium’s staging of the Tony
award-winning musical, Fun Home, in 2017.
Gail
Belmonte has been featured on tracks by artists like fulses, thecolorfractal,
Fingerfunk and Tim De Cotta. The R&B artist is finally ready to put out her
own music with 3 singles planned for release in 2020, in which she explores the
effects of love, heartache, falling apart and putting yourself back together
again.
