Gabrielle hit the top of the charts with her first single Dreams back in 1993. Since then she has been a stalwart of the UK Soul, R&#038;B and pop scenes with her signature sultry voice she has won MOBO and BRIT awards as well as topping the album charts.  As time passes it&#8217;s easy to maybe think of her as a one hit wonder but singles such as Rise, Sunshine and Out of Reach showcase her longevity and songwriting ability. As she approaches her 3rd decade in the music industry, let&#8217;s celebrate her talent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"intro2 bold\">Inie\u2019s Favourite Tracks:<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_video src=&#8221;https:\/\/youtu.be\/na93MI5NFy0&#8243; image_src=&#8221;\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/na93MI5NFy0\/hqdefault.jpg&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3><b>Additional songs to check out:<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>\ud83c\udfb5 Sunshine<br \/>\n\ud83c\udfb5 Out of Reach[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;#eeeeee&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_3,2_3&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Anz&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/moodmedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/UK-Black-History-Month-1.webp&#8221; title_text=&#8221;UK Black History Month (1)&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][Image Source: SoundCloud][\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Anz&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"h-mod\"><b>Anz<\/b><\/p>\n<p>by Inie Banigo (Music Supervisor)<\/p>\n<p>Anz&#8217;s music is a wonderful mix of Electro, Uk Garage, Jungle and more, her hit song You Could Be which features singer George Riley has been all over clubs, festivals and well anywhere you can dance.
