‘Breeze’ feat. Emile Parisien is the new single from French guitarist and vocalist Gabriel Gosse, taken from his upcoming album ‘MOJO’ due for release September 2025. Fuelled by vivid compositions that drift between introspective restraint and flashes of elegant intensity, Gabriel develops his own open and modern twist on traditional jazz. The track follows previous single, “Chill Wind” which was the first new music from Gabriel Gosse since his album ‘Flow’ and subsequent remix EP.
A developed and sought after musician, ‘Breeze’ feat. Emile Parisien features legendary French soprano and alto saxophonist Emile Parisien alongside French songwriter and actor Philippe Katerine. The contemporary jazz sounds from Parisien evoke a lyrical melody, showcasing the virtuoso sounds of the musician. The final form of the track is an ethereal, melancholy modern jazz number with a sharp rhythmic edge channelling underlying Afrobeat influences.
