LA-based singer/songwriter/producer GABRIELLA RAELYN, formerly known as Gemyni,and her single/video “wish upon a STAR,” via Celebmix. The track reflects her self-coined terms, ‘Neon Renaissance’ and ‘Ret-Romantic’, inspired by the aesthetics of royalty-core and 80s vaporwave.
Through these inspirations, GABRIELLA RAELYN effortlessly blends various genres such as Dream Pop, Synthwave, Darkwave, Alternative R&B, Baroque Pop, and Electro House, drawing influences from The Cure, ABBA, Depeche Mode, Madonna, The Weeknd, Lana Del Rey, and MARINA. Her songs have an overarching theme of romanticism, and often feature storylines that explore the agony and passion of star-crossed lovers & forbidden love through the lens of dark femininity.
On the new track, Gabriella reveals: “I wrote and produced a Synthpop track titled “wish upon a STAR” as an introduction to my new style and story. The song was originally written in December of 2019 when I was feeling depressed and frustrated about my music career, and it was inspired by a desire for divine intervention to make my dreams come true. I tabled the song for a while but decided to revisit it when I began reinventing my art and defining my story.”wish upon a STAR” is the first single on Gabriella’s upcoming album NEPHELE: Act I which is an ongoing, multiple album project.
