This January, Montréal-based singer-songwriter Gabrielle Shonk will head to the road for a run of tour dates across North America. Full tour dates can be found below. Today, Shonk is sharing the new single, “Aftertaste” where the acclaimed songwriter ponders her relationship to partying as a way to cope with the pressures of life. Over animated synths, Shonk somber but soulfully sings of the depressive cycle that comes with binge drinking: “I said I’d only have a few / Once again I’m letting myself down / Surviving off these toxic fumes / I cross the line until I drown”. The track was co-written with Mathieu Sénéchal (Charlotte Cardin) and Peter Shonk, Gabrielle’s blues musician father.
The single is taken from Shonk's forthcoming sophomore album, out early next year. After a difficult breakup and parting ways with the major label behind her debut album, Shonk used her newfound creative freedom to make her sophomore album with longtime friends, co-writer Jessy Caron of the band Men I Trust, and producer Jesse Mac Cormack (Helena Deland). Watch for more new music from the record in the near future.
