"With its boisterous and dynamic arrangement, catchy chorus, and engaging sentiments, ('Keep the Fire' is) guaranteed to ignite something meaningful within you, too." - PopMatters

"...a sweeping, ambitious album that swells with strings and heart." - CBC Music

"It’s big, and it’s dramatic." - The East

Released on our very own state51 label 'Keep the Fire' is the defiant, poignant mantra around which this sweeping and heart-piercing album is built; a weary warning filled with wisdom, empathy, defiance and pride.

The music remains confidently rooted in folk strumming and gentle vocal phrasings. But Gabrielle has embraced her pop leanings and pushed them to the forefront. The songs pulse with dramatic strings, keys and evocative percussion that combine for surprising left-turns. It is music you’d expect to find on a playlist between Florence Welch and Thom Yorke; bold without sacrificing emotion.

This art-pop progression comes from the pairing of Papillon’s trusted producer and pop-folk whiz Daniel Ledwel with mixing engineer Corey LeRue, the EDM pop genius behind Neon Dreams. Together, their work lifts Keep the Fire into a new realm adding heft and punch to pretty songs with LeRue’s secret mixing recipes. Their approaches may be disparate, but the result is something thrilling—melodic and catchy, memorable and affecting.

Keep The Fire’s emotional scope and sonic ambition are clear signs of a talented and ambitious artist ready to tackle new markets and build on a dedicated and growing fanbase.
