British/Turkish singer, song-writer and producer Gazel has released her new single, ‘You’re Not Funny’. The track is the latest single to be taken from the rising-star’s forthcoming debut album, ‘Gazel’s Book Of Souls’, which has been given a release date of the 4th of October 2019.
The rising star’s most recent single, to be taken from her upcoming debut album, ‘You’re Not Funny’ has been described by Wilful Publicity as, “featuring spoken word passages which build into sweeping melodic crescendos, before hauntingly ethereal choruses ascend amid driving beats and spacious harmonies.” The track is one of the pivotal songs on Gazel’s dazzling debut album, which is a feat of magical story-telling and introduces Gazel as the gifted musician that she is.
That album, ‘Gazel’s Book Of Souls’, follows the story of Gazel, who seeks to find the cause of a mysterious fire which destroyed her village, and in the process encounters a variety of ‘souls’ who dwell in our collective unconscious, each of which is represented by a different track on the album. The album has been described as taking influence from the “mystical philosophy and the folk music of her Middle-Eastern roots, the album is an eclectic and captivating blend of subtle electronica, folk and pop.”
Speaking about the single, Gazel said: “‘You’re Not Funny’ is a conversation between Gazel and a charlatan spiritual teacher who lives in the collective unconscious: Ser Seng, Master of Disguises. One of the six Souls of the subconscious, he’s the spirit of the dramatic mask who influences our identity, personality and the role we play in the world during a particular lifetime.”
Gazel has previously performed sold-out shows at venues including the Borderline, The Waiting Room, Birthdays, and St Pancras Old Church. The release of her latest single, ‘You’re Not Funny’, comes as the singers set to perform at Hackney’s Paper Dress Vintage, on the 1st of May 2019, along with a slot at Liverpool’s Sound City, on the 4th of May 2019, with more shows to be announced soon.
