News Story
One of the UK’s most successful singer-songwriters, Gabrielle is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the smash hit album, ‘Rise’, with a very special tour for 2020.
Gabrielle returned to the top of her game with her 2018 album ‘Under My Skin’. The album debuted at #7 on the Official Album Chart and represented her highest-charting studio set since ‘Rise’ spent three weeks at #1 eighteen years earlier. Boosted by Radio 2 support that saw Gabrielle receive Record of the Week and A-list additions for 3 of her latest singles, the campaign reminded the world of Gabrielle’s distinctive vocal gift – one that flourishes with equal measures of soul and emotion.
Having successfully proven herself all over again, Gabrielle will perform eighteen dates across the UK and Ireland this November and December showcasing songs from the album, along with other iconic hits and fan favourites.
“I’m 50, ‘Rise’ is 20 how did that happen?!? I’m truly over the moon to have added more dates to my tour, apparently ‘I’m in ‘phenomenal demand’. I can’t wait to celebrate an album that means a great deal to me with you all” says Gabrielle.
Released late in 1999, ‘Rise’ shot back into the charts when its title-track spent two weeks at #1 the following February. The album then spent three weeks at #1 during an eleven-week run in the Top 10, before again returning to the Top 10 in the summers of 2000 and 2001. The album was eventually certified 4 x Platinum in recognition of more than 1.2 million sales.
Gabrielle will be taking to the stage at Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre on Monday 09 November 2020.
