Coming off the back of the release of her debut single ‘Look At You Now’ at the start of October, today, all-round creative talent Gabriela Bee returns with her latest track, ‘Maybe’. The beautifully melodic vocal performance delivered by Gabriela combined with the intimate sincerity of her lyricism finds Gabriela playing with the concept of the unknown.

“MAYBE” is a song about my best friend of over 14 years. She’s a year older than me, and is now off to university, on the other side of the country. She holds a special place in my heart because she’s been there with me through all of life’s changes. I’ve always been used to seeing her face, and her being an 8 minute drive away, so it hit a certain heartstring knowing she’s now across the country. I wrote this song the day after she left, and it’s the only song I’ve ever written that actually made me cry. It made my entire family cry. The song itself tells the story of our sister-like bond, and delves into the truth behind missing somebody and the uncertainty of seeing them again. The realization hits, and now all you really have to rely on is “maybe”. Now, she’s off on her own journey, and we part ways in two very different directions. It feels like the polaroids I have of us are not enough, but our memories will last me a lifetime, and I’m so glad that I spent those tender childhood years with her. Maybe I’ll see her again."

At its core, ‘Maybe’ takes the form of a highly emotive and powerful pop ballad, that articulates Bee’s melancholic longing for certainty and stability, but eventual acceptance that sometimes a maybe is better than nothing.

Having enjoyed the highs of exponential growth and success on Youtube and TikTok, since Gabriela began posting covers and original material online at the age of 12, this viral sensation is now ardently establishing herself as a singer-songwriter with serious drive, ambition and more importantly than anything, a powerful sense of musicality. With today’s release Gabriela Bee further builds her extensive profile as an all-round creative, and does so with composure and fervour.

The release of ‘Look At You Now’ on the 6th October was our formal introduction to Gabriela Bee and her incredible musical abilities, being a track that showcased her extraordinary vocals and promise as an evolving artist. The single garnered reputable support from the likes of Wonderland Magazine and was described by Ones To Watch as “unquestionably gifted”, and “Backed by an ability to spin wonderfully therapeutic lyrics and social media savvy, her approachability meshed with star quality is rarified.”

With plenty more on the horizon for this budding pop talent, Gabriela is only just getting started!

“I’ve really poured my guts out with my music. People might have no idea who I am but I want them to know my heart when they listen to these songs,” says Gabriela Bee, who’s sitting on an eclectic mix of giddy pop songs. Some are upbeat, some are super depressing that find hope in hopeless situations but all pull from deeply personal experiences. “I can’t wait to share them with the world,” grins the 17-year old.

The first song in this new chapter is the lush, evocative ‘Look At You Now’. Gabriela’s first proper single was originally written as an ode to her younger self, but in the weeks leading up to its release, the teenager revisited the lyrics and realised she resonated with them more than ever. “It now feels like my younger self wrote it for the person I’ve become,” she explains. “It's also a song about feeling powerless or feeling incredibly powerful. It’s warm, it’s comforting and it’s nostalgic. It sounds like it could be played at the end of a Disney movie.” 

Inspired by timeless artists like Queen, The Beatles and Elton John as well as modern day icons Billie Eilish and Lana Del Rey, Gabriele plans to release several new tracks over the coming months leading to an EP and full-length album. “I definitely see myself at 60-years-old, still being on stage Paul McCartney-style,” she grins. 

Gabriela is used to being in the spotlight. Growing up as part of The EH Bees, a hugely popular family unit known for their comedy skits across Vine, YouTube and Instagram as well as running her own solo TikTok and YouTube channels, everything Gabriela uploads is typically watched by hundreds of thousands of people. That might sound daunting but “it’s been a positive journey,” she explains, with her parents offering her both protection and choice. “I’ve had so many amazing opportunities and met so many incredible people, it’s really grown that skill to be out in front of an audience and given me that hunger to be on that world stage,” she continues, with forays into acting and gaming also part of her impressive CV. 

“It’s about giving people something real to relate to,” she says of her online presence. “Everything I say comes straight from my chest. I just try to be my unapologetic self to let people know there is real on the internet.“ But over the past twelve months, she’s pulled back from creating content to focus on music. “I basically shut everything else out. I wanted to just focus on this,” she explains. 

Gabriela’s dabbled with music before though. When she was barely a teenager, she went into her first studio session and wrote the rebellious, angsty anthem ‘Leave Them Kids Alone’ which went on to form an album of the same name. “I was super nervous and I didn’t know what to do,” she admits. Around the same time, she toured with Canadian pop band Walk Off The Earth and discovered “playing live in front of people is a high like no other. It felt like there was so much pressure going into those situations but I quickly realised this is all I wanted to do.” British rapper PRINZ then went on to sample Gabriela’s early track ‘Highs & Lows’, turning it into a viral smash. 

Of course, making the pivot from comedy TikToks to heartfelt pop bangers is a tricky one. “There’s always an aspect of feeling like I have to prove myself, but I just have to keep reminding myself that no matter how many hate comments I get or how many streams I rack up, I’m doing this because I love to sing. “

Ambition wise, Gabriela is shooting for the stars and wants to perform onstage at Wembley Stadium like her hero Freddie Mercury. “But if I end up performing to 30 people in a club, as long as I’m connecting to someone, I’ll be happy,” she adds. “I just want to be a positive force.”
