Gabrielle Shonk Reveals Joni Mitchell Cover via Ghettoblaster
By: Caryn Robbins Sep. 07, 2017
Quebec indie-folk singer/songwriter Gabrielle Shonk will release her highly anticipated self-titled debut album September 29th on Universal Music Canada. Lead single "Habit" grabbed the the attention of VICE's Noisey who likened Shonk's vocals to a mix of Alicia Keys, Fiona Apple and Amy Winehouse. Shonk recently revealed album track "Raindrops" via W Magazine and debuted "Both Sides Now" (Joni Mitchell Cover) via Ghettoblaster Magazine today.

Shonk's debut album arrives on the heels of her recently released Habit single package, which includes the original single "Habit" (which currently has over one million streams on Spotify, and the track's music video has 164k views and counting), an acoustic version of the track, and brand new French single,"Trop Tard." The album was produced by Simon Pedneault at Wild Studio, La Strip, Planet Studios, and Studio Dandurand in Canada.
Gabrielle Shonk is the natural product of a creative household, raised by a blues-musician father and artist mother in Quebec City. She started singing at a very young age and began writing her own songs as a teenager, soulfully guided by favorites such as Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, Joni Mitchell, and Tracy Chapman. Singing in both English and French, music quickly became Shonk's universal language. Her musical craft took hold as she went on to study Jazz in University, where she later earned a degree in music. Shonk recently opened for fellow Canadian singer/songwriter Bobby Bazini as well as Rag N Bone Man, Hannah Georgas, Milky Chance and P!nk. This summer, she's performed at Montreal Jazz Festival, Wayhome Festival, and is currently in the middle of a North American tour. See full list of tour dates below.
