Gallant Returns With "Coldstar"

GALLANT RETURNS WITH “COLDSTAR.”   SIGNS TO MOM+POP MUSIC

LISTEN | WATCH “COLDSTAR.”   GRAMMY® Award-nominated Gallant makes a welcomed return today with his first release on Mom+Pop Music. “Coldstar.” is an enthralling and hypnotic new song “about longing and desperately wanting to get back to a memory,” the critically acclaimed artist, musician, songwriter, and producer shares.    “Coldstar.” follows a solo hiatus from the artist renowned for his experimental edge, transcendent falsetto, and soulful melodies, who emerged into the spotlight with his critically acclaimed debut album, Ology, in 2016. His standout single, "Weight in Gold," became an anthem of vulnerability and strength, earning him a GRAMMY® nomination and solidifying his place in the contemporary R&B scene. He went on to collaborate with artists including Dua Lipa, Zhu, Brandy, Noah Cyrus and Sufjan Stevens, and made notable appearances at major music festivals such as Coachella, Bonnaroo, and Austin City Limits (ACL), and notable television appearances, such as "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," "Later... with Jools Holland," and the "Today" show.   Fast forward to 2024, and Gallant is ready to re-emerge with a new perspective, new music, and new exciting artistic endeavors including the collaborative project titled "sneek," with Terrace Martin and Robert Glasper, and more recently, the Monologue Experiment, an episodic series with special guests, created and written by Gallant. Monologue Experiment #1 features Eric Nam [watch here].   Accompanying “Coldstar.,” is the Sasha Samsonova directed visual, also out today. Watch HERE.   On making “Coldstar.” with Canadian record producer and songwriter Stint, Gallant shares: It was a gloomy day in April, and I kept thinking about when I used to feel down a lot, how I would wrestle with this persistent feeling of 'wanting to go home when I'm already there'. He continues “We had both been listening to a bunch of old video game soundtracks from 1999, and Stint ended up finding this synth sound that reminded me of something you'd hear in the water level of some Sega Dreamcast platformer. Immediately it all felt like a distant, core memory that I eagerly wanted to return to-- and the whole song pretty much just spontaneously materialized after that. Now whenever I listen back to 'Coldstar.', I get to live in that wishful space for just a couple of minutes. Hopefully, it has the same effect on you when you press 'play'.”   “Coldstar.” is out everywhere now.   More Gallant news to come.
