notes

The eponymous new record from piano rocker Gabriel Mann is due April 2005. Literally and figuratively, Gabriel Mann has arrived, and just in time to open for Alanis Morissette's European tour in April and Glenn Tilbrook in the US in May. Mann's music has been compared to The Police, John Mayer and Elvis Costello. Songs on this new album range from the quirky Billy Joel-meets-Maroon 5 "OK Alone," to the anthemic "Undertow," and the sad-sweet cello and vocal heartbreaker, "When We Are One."

Gabe's forceful piano playing is backed by Carson Cohen on bass and Adam Marcello on drums, and an array of guest vocalists and musicians.His fans have packed shows ranging from solo performances at intimate venues like Hollywood's legendary Hotel Cafe to opening slots with full band for international artists such as Jamie Cullum across North America. He has developed a large and loyal fan base because of his intensely personal yet universal lyrics, hook-laden melodies, an undeniable voice and winning, dry humor.

His talents have been put to use on various film and TV projects, including his current stint as resident songwriter for Fox's Emmy-winning series Arrested Development.

Radio & Records recently celebrated Mann's emergence into the spotlight by naming him one of their Artists to Watch for 2005.

  • Wow
    author: Alex

    I randomly heard "Lighted Up" and decided to buy this CD on a whim. Good choice. Mann's melodies, lyrics and instrumentation are brilliant. He is a cross between Ben Folds and John Mayer, but adding his own personal touch of course. CD Baby's service was great and this CD will probably remain playing in my car for months to come.

  • wonderful!

  • The CD is just fantastic! The shipping was incredibly fast!
    author: Megan

    I bought the CD for 1 song, and loved all the songs on the album. Gabriel Mann pours his heart and soul into this relaxing, emotional music. Simply amazing. And the CD Baby shipping was very quick!

    Such a great CD. I listen to it all the time and it never gets old. The music is just so fun and relaxing. CD Baby was amazing at getting it delivered on time and in tip top shape.

  • GRANDTASTIC!

    I love this cd! I listen to it all the time! THANKS A MILLION CD BABY!

  • The raw emotion that poured out of the cd overwhelming
    author: Tammy Madden

    I was swept off my feet, It made me cry ,I do not cry at the drop of hat like a lot people do, if anything I keep my feelings to myself, I am a very private person, this cd, is very moving and I have even put picture stories to it, it is also so down to earth,Just a very moving piece of work!

  • Great writing / excellent music
    author: 3gs

    I found this artist from pre-loaded music on my new PC. His music has depth and is more sophisticated than most pop. He has a broad range of sounds, but the piano definitely is his signature. I hope he continues to record and create the same music that, like this CD, will be listened to for years to come. Make sure to listen to "You Keep Me Lighted Up." It's what sold me on his sound

  • Gabriel Mann live and on CD
    author: Clyde Monma

    I heard Gabriel Mann sing at an LA club that my son took me to. He sounded great so I bought his new CD and love it!! Check him out the next time you are in LA.

  • it does for me what Gabe hoped it would
    author: lauri

    I imagine every young artist (well, at least those with a shred of integrity) dreams about getting inside the listener and connecting to something in a meaningful way. Making an impact. Shaking it up a little. This CD does it for me...all of it, but especially Lighted Up. Thanks....now how do we get him to Michigan?

  • absolutely addictive
    author: western New York

    I keep hearing Lighted Up and Okay Alone in my head all day long. I bought this CD on a whim -- now it's in my car CD player ALL THE TIME! There isn't a mediocre song on it.

  • A-M-A-Zing!
    author: Jeremy Parodi

    i LOVE this cd! vocals are great and the emotions are portrayed so elegantly through the instruments and the harmonies! AH! it was great! i recommend it to everyone!

  • Delightful music from a gifted musician
    author: cyndi jo

    Thank you for the wonderful music. This man has a talent and gift that is amazing. i look forward to purchasing more of his future albums.

  • I'm addicted.
    author: Jackson

    This CD is everything I hoped it would be. Passionate vocals behind the incredibly soothing sound of the piano. "The Way You Lie" is superb. "Undertow" is so reflective and introverted...it's nice to put on some headphones, close my eyes, and just draw inside myself. And thank you Gabe for "When We Are One"....it really sets a mood, if you know what I mean...who needs Marvin Gaye? Awesome. 5 Stars.

  • i'm a total MANNiac!
    author: kimberly

    tracks 4, 6, 8, 9 & 10... my favorites! i heard gabe at the hotel cafe in los angeles about 2 weeks ago and ordered the cd the next day. so many artists' performances don't transfer well from live to recorded... gabriel mann is definitely an exception. his songs are uplifting, moving, heartfelt, beautiful, and soulful ~ in person and recorded. i will forever be a MANNiac and this cd is at the top of my collection! can't wait for the next one, gabe!

  • basically i love this cd
    author: megan florez

    i love this cd and gabriel... he writes such moving lyrics with beautiful counter melodies... especially "when we are one" thats my favorite... thats exactly how i feel about someone special...

  • Greeeeeeat sound!
    author: Dave Nguyen

    This album has such a great sound that I can listen to it no matter what mood I'm in. Has a good mix of upbeat songs and slow ones (Undertow is amazing). Definitely recommended!

  • Pure Genius!
    author: Media Orphan

    This Cd is pure genuine genius! The melodies and lyrics are very expressionistic of a true artist! I even got the album edition. Very cool!

  • author: Cathrin Adderson

    Your CD is very very good, emotional, impressive...and so on.:-) I really hope, you will come to germany soon again. For me you are a real artist! Respect!

  • A great album
    author: Christopher Dannatt

    I saw Gabe at the Alanis gig in London... an excellent album and worth the buy

  • Infectious!
    author: matthias

    gabe's new album is stuffed with sensitive sounds, outbursting emotions and real infectious grooves. pretty cool !!

  • Completly Awesome!
    author: brittany

    I really like all of these songs. They're so diverse, and the band is so talented. I just got to see Gabriel Mann play requests in my class and i was awed, and hooked!

  • Great!
    author: Jodi Bee

    Another impressive effort from Gabriel Mann. Love him, love the music - a true poet and what a voice!

  • Keeps me lighted up :)
    author: Astrid

    I rarely buy cd's as with my eclectic taste I can't afford to buy every cd I like, but every once in a while you come across one that you'll listen to time and time again, like this one! Good songs, great album, come back to england soon!

  • Very impressive debut
    author: Lou

    I saw Gabriel with Alanis Morissette and was hooked, I think it's very Maroon 5, has that L.A. sound...some of the tracks are superb...Okay Alone, Someone else for one day...infact so good that I listen to them so much and haven't given the rest of the cd much of a play!!! Some in the middle seems a bit washy but worth it for the good songs L x

  • I don't believe in gravity
    author: Sooz

    I don't believe in gravity, but I do believe that this album rocks. Some of the old favorites mixed in with a bunch of great new tunes -- it'll keep you moving and grooving. And, if you are anything like me, singing out loud in the car like a crazy person.

  • Amazing!
    author: Mouse

    This CD has not left my car and I'm seriously considering having to buy another in case i wear it out! I saw this guy supporting Alanis Morissette, and Gravity stuck in my head, so i had to have the CD!!

  • Fabulous work from a rising master!
    author: Ben

    When this guy is famous, we will all regret not being able to see him play in small venues any more. These is pop music for adults: complex, witty, passionate, and honest. Plus, the songs just rock, they just do. Terrific album from a rising star.

  • Simply fantastic!
    author: Rachel

    This CD means great listening. GabrielÄs unique voice, combined with the nice blend of piano, rock and great lyrics is just great. I've also seen the band live, with most of the songs of the album played and it is just fun reliving that great concert every time I listen to the CD. BUY THIS ALBUM!
