Gabzvitto SZN has arrived!! Gabzy has finally dropped another project and one the streets have to begging for since he gave us 2 hits in 2021 with ‘Party Starter’ and ‘Pull Up’. Teaming up with Melvitto again, they delivered exactly what we hoped for - At The End Of The Night.
This summer-ready, 5-track project digs deeper into Gabzy’s psyche, exploring the tension and anxieties he feels under the surface. All this emotions are wrapped around different styles of beats, from the delicate guitar riffs in ‘Way Too Much’, Alte zesty drums in ‘Rice & Peas’ *as a Nigerian man this is my current favourite* to lively organ tones in ‘God Bless My Enemies’. This EP is a good addition to the great catalogue of music Gabzy and belted out for us and it’s lovely and amazing to have the dynamic duo back working together.
Track Breakdown
At The End Of The Night Tracklist
Way Too Much ft. Dayor
Rice & Peas
True Colours
Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda
God Bless My Enemies
Way Too Much ft. Dayor
The riffs, the backing vocals and the symbolic Gabzy contagious and digestive hook - perfect entry to the EP, I was locked in from the get. Gabzy and East London singer/rapper Dayor get in their bags and slapped us with vocals as they lament the breakdown of a relationship.
Rice & Peas
This one will have you girating, definitely as track that can only be created by a child of the diaspora. Described as ‘Sun Drenced’ and a personal favourite, Rice & Peas is that alte single you know you will be blasting out this summer as you serenade the ladies or men or both (twenty twenty twooo guys). We hear the Gabzvitto unique sounds as Gabzy shows his playful side on the dynamic, zesty drum patterns. There’s always something about hearing Yoruba flirty bars blended with UK lingos that feels me with sexual confidence, you definitely receive that blessing when listening to this.
True Colours
Afrohouse inspired and one for the boozy brunch dates, Gabzy contemplates a past lover. Really love the different layers Mellvitto threw in the track, starting out with an auto tune sample that you might be unsure about, only for it him to throw in some afrohouse vibes and mixed in with Gabzy’s voice… GBOSAA.
Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda
Something for the warm summer nights, the reflective ‘Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda’ finds Gabzy at his most emotional as he stews over past arguments set to light instrumentation.
God Bless My Enemies
Closing out the EP is the spiritual ‘God Bless My Enemies’, woven through with lively organ tones as Gabzyreflects on how his faith brings him strength.
We have been promised more magic from Gabzy camp and I’m here for it. Can’t wait to see what more our rising star has to offer.
