Every once in a while, an artist comes along who doesn’t just sing a song—they live it. That’s the energy GABRIELA is carrying into her latest single “the valley”, a dark-pop anthem that feels like a diary cracked open under neon lights.


At 25, GABRIELA is already carving her own lane. Born and raised in McAllen, Texas, she went from uploading YouTube covers out of her bedroom to becoming one of Nashville’s brightest new voices. She’s got powerhouse vocals, a sharp pen, and the kind of stage presence that makes you lean in and stay there. Along the way, she’s linked with industry pros like Warner Music Group producer Scott Cupolo, Jaycen Joshua protégé Jacob Richards, and Grammy-winning mix engineer Tre Nagella—proof she’s as much a force in the studio as she is on stage.


Her debut EP OUTTAKES introduced the world to her raw mix of edge and heart, and now “the valley” pushes that even further. Built on haunting synths and pounding drums, the track has a cinematic pull that’s both vulnerable and explosive. Think Lorde’s honesty, Gaga’s drama, and Halsey’s bite—all rolled into one.


What makes “the valley” so striking is its duality: it’s a song about holding on and letting go at the same time. GABRIELA’s vocals cut through with urgency, riding over production that feels larger than life. Every line drips with emotion, every chorus builds like a leap into the unknown. It’s the sound of chasing dreams, facing fears, and throwing yourself fully into the moment.



There’s no hiding in this record. GABRIELA sings with a fearless openness, letting her emotions bleed into every lyric and melody. That honesty, paired with future-facing pop production, makes “the valley” not just a song to hear—but one to feel in your chest.

With more music on the horizon and a reputation for commanding any room she steps into, GABRIELA isn’t just on the rise—she’s already soaring. And if “the valley” is any indication, she’s only just getting started.
