Clean’s most-listened album of the year is, without a doubt, gutta child. With just eight songs on the project, it’s no wonder we’ve been craving more music from the talented newcomer. Gabriel Jacoby has the kind of voice that always leaves you wanting more. His raspy, blues-inflected, soulful vocals balance earthy grit with a surprisingly tender falsetto, seamlessly blending the rawness of Southern blues with the smoothness of contemporary R&B. Dominic Fike has already tapped into his magic, bringing Gabriel on board for his latest single, ‘Small Town’. But now, it’s finally time for brand-new solo music.

The next chapter for Gabriel Jacoby isn’t about reinventing his sound. Honestly, why would he, so early in his career, when he’s already found something so distinctively his own? ‘let’s talk about it’ simply picks up where gutta child left us. It’s another Southern R&B offering that showcases his ability to move effortlessly between a rougher chest voice and a softer, delicate falsetto, before landing on a warm, soulful vocal delivery in the song’s brilliant bridge. He leaves us in no doubt as to why he’s our, and Michelle Obama’s, favorite new kid on the block.
