Starting point is 00:10:52 And we were talking about your new fans where I was at the Adele gig in Hyde Park, where you were supporting. And you know, I was like oh yeah I know Gabrielle yeah you know like no offense but I'm seeing her in screw fric I'm sure that I'm sure that would be fine she's good I went out there and then there was loads of people my age yeah watching and when you come out everyone was sort of in disbelief going that's Gabrielle you to forgot the songs that you had that's Gabriel that people have his out of body experience of accessing the th th the songs th th th the songs th th th their th th th th th their their th th th th I th I th I th I th th th th they they they they they they they they they they they they they they were thou that's tho they were they were they were that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's th I I I I I I I I th I th I th I th I th I th I was th I was th I was th I was that thou that thou that thou that's that thou their thou their that's thou that's thou that that that's thou that's was going mad it was it was amazing. You're a huge hero to Adele as well aren't you? Oh listen I love that I mean you know she's like this this super queen and
Starting point is 00:11:34 she's incredible and yet at the same time she manages to be so humble I don't if I'd be as humble as her because she's just incredible I mean she's amazing but just to know that you know some of my songs the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th th th. th. to to to to to to to th. the. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to be to be to to to be to be to their their their their their their their. their. their. their. their. their their their their their their their the. their their their their their their the. their the. their the. their's amazing but just to know that you know some of my songs are the backdrop of her life you know and she's so young and it was incredible to be asked to do that up until it happened I actually still didn't believe it would happen and then she made a point of coming to see me I mean she even came on stage with her rollers so she should be getting ready before her big entrance but she's like oh no she you know she's she's their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their their. their. their. their. their. th.

I but she's like, oh no, she's there with her rollers looking exquisite and just being amazing.
Starting point is 00:12:09 And I felt really chuffed by that. And you know, to meet her, to perform, to kind of sing for the audience, like, predominantly her audience. That was the most fun time. And to do it over the two days, 65,000 people for two days each day. I'm like flipping it, this is amazing. So I had a fun time and to know that she cites me somebody that she looked up to, I'll take that and run. You can't take it back now. Did that impress your kids? You know what? My kids did come along. They were impressed. I mean, it's funny because with kids, I mean, when I say impress them, they kind of take it for granted. You know what I mean? You're doing your thing, you're on the tele, you're big.
Starting point is 00:12:47 And I'm talking about you by the way, right? Me, yeah, not jobs. And yeah, but I mean, you're both lovely and big. But what happens is that? I don't know, I don't know, he must have annoyed them. I said, so he's like, mom, we really love to hear the standing the own voice. That's why you're talking about.
Starting point is 00:13:10 And I said, yeah, so the millions of others. And I had to say that, putting me in It's like, Idil. You know what I mean? But I think that Adele is such a big fan of you and she's the biggest star on the planet. Yeah, exactly. As a child, the biggest style on the planet goes, you are an inspiration to me. I love your music. You're one of my heroes. Yeah. As it's like 27, 28 looking at your mom. Maybe people do like a sound of their own voice. Well now I have to bring that in because like kids are just mean. That's not the time. I love them but they're mean. You're not anybody when you're in your home house. You're at home you're not like somebody up to tell your mom.
Starting point is 00:13:55 Oh, you're, yeah. That's, yeah. Mom, dad. That's what you're taken them around, gigging. And so 29, so what point in your career was your son born? Were you taking him around gigging and in recording studios and stuff? How did it work? Or did you have a break? No, I took what happened. I first onto the scene in 1993. I've got a fact about that. Oh really? I want to hear about it. Come on. Because I used to be obsessed with the charts and chart numbers. Oh wow. You were the first UK solo female artist to debut at number one with your debut single.
Starting point is 00:14:31 Wow. You know something? It's incredible and I'll take that. I never thought that would happen. But you know at the time when I came out in 93, 95 he was born. But I remember being in the studio literally a week before he was born and thinking I was going to go back there on the Monday, that he came on the Saturday and then I was back in his studio weeks later, finishing, give me a lot more time. So I never really, although I was pregnant with him and working and then by the summer gave birth, I literally, I think a few weeks later, but I never took them on the road, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, told, I, told, told, told, told, told, told, told, I'm, I'm, told, told, told, told, told, told, told, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, to, I, I, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, to, the the the the the th the th toed, toed, toed, toed, toed, toed, toed, th toed, th toed, toed, the toed, the the the the the the to, th few weeks later, but I never took them on the road with me. It was something that I'm really happy that my mom would step in and be like, right, do what you need to do. Yeah. I couldn't have done it without her. Singing eight months pregnant. Does it affect, I know this sounds weird, but obviously you've got all these physical differences and stuff?
Starting point is 00:15:18 Yes. Does it affect your voice in any way? I could still hit high notes if you're like? I could still hit high notes but affected my tummy I was always hungry. I was actually the nightmare artist in the studio because I'd go in and we've got like so many songs that I've written and I've got to now vocal them like just get the proper vocals but I'm like I remember my thing was like it had to be chips and mayonnaise and what's that and mustard and it had to be the what was it the Coleman's mustard was it the yellow mustard? English mustard yeah yeah that one he's got to burn me and I'd always be in trouble but I had to rub it and that was my pregnancy thing I just wanted to eat all the time but chips and mayonnaise and so I'd go there and we're meant to do one or two then I'd to do one... And so I was a nightmare. So vocally, I was all right because my range,
Starting point is 00:16:07 I'm got a Maria Carey range, you know what I mean? I do my thing. I always say to people, when I didn't see these other artists out there, I think I'm more of a speeching. I don't have these Most people can't wait to like for the baby to disembarked coming off a plane no coming out my belly. But it was fun time to me you know what I mean? The kids stay at home of your mom then when you were out toure and things like that so they had a bit more stability and normality because I think it's a balance where when that is your the job today that that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that that is that that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is your that is your that is your that is your that is your that is that is that is that is that is your that is your that is your that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the they. that is your that is the to see your world in bits, but really kids need routine. Precisely. I do remember when my son was maybe one and I had to do a radio tour and I remember
Starting point is 00:16:49 having to go to Scotland's and so it was like having to take everything and it was travel cot and everything. So and my mom came with. So you know, initially it seemed like a good idea, you know, and it was fun to have him, but I think the moment he was in nursery and then he was at school That was when I just made that decision. No, I wouldn't you know take him on the road So he would have stability and familiarity That was my thing, but it meant that because of the fact that I felt like I was away from them when I was working Every opportunity I could take to be with them is what I did so I would have longed? I? tak. tak. tak. tak. tak. tak. tap. tap. tap. tap. tha. tak. to to to to to to to to to to to tak. to to to to to to to to to to to the the the to to to to to to to to to to to their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. tak. tak. I tak. I tak. I tak. I tak. I tak. I tak. tak. tak. tak. tak. tak. ta. ta. ta. tak. to to tak. to to tak. tak. to So I would have long periods in between albums. I didn't want to miss their school plays. I didn't, you know what I mean? My son embarrassingly for him, I'd be around when he was doing the school sports day and I do remember one time it was raining. And I don't I can't run now but I just remember he's day and I'm like, oh my god I just got a kind of I don't even know how I even thou th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th to to th to to to to to to thou thou to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thou thou the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th him? Not quite with him, but I was there with the umbrella.
Starting point is 00:17:47 All these friends parents stood in their places and somehow mum is trying to run and encourage him. I'm that embarrassing. Yeah, I'm that embarrassing mum. Yeah, I never got to hear of any more sports days. My daughter was a bit more like, she never did the running thing. She that. I. I. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I was. I was. I was. I was. I was that. I was that. I was that. I was that. I was that. I was that. I was that. I was that. I was that. I was that that that that that that that. I was that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was. I was.

My daughter was a bit more like, she never did the running thing. She heard what you did, that's why. Yes.
Starting point is 00:18:08 Do I do running now? My mum will follow. So did you take conscious career breaks then throughout your career? Do you think maybe if you didn't have children, Dracking, you may have done a few more albums and things like that? you know something I didn't even feel I was making it consciously but I know to the annoyance of my record company because you know you've got artists I don't know how they do it they they're putting out album after album that dedication and commitment but I was just always happy in between putting out each album taking my time but I didn't realize that one time it take me 11 years to bring out a new until I there was an 11 year break at one stage, but I think everything happened for a reason. And in the time when everyone's concerned about their mental health, I think I was doing
Starting point is 00:18:48 these things, you know, trying to make sure I was mentally there and present for my family and feeling good about myself and not being an absent mother, when you're a parent, remember, you sometimes do worry, you know what I'mthinking when I was away from my kids, does my son-daughter know that I'm mom and not that my mother, who's their grandma, was the, you know, I used to be worried because they think she was their grand. But I was never that extreme, but I just wanted to make sure that they knew who I was. So I think it was just easy. It was just a natural progression for me and I don't th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th. th. that that that, that, that, the their that, that, their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. th. that, I was just, I was just, I was just, I was just, I was just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, to throwneeateateatr-uuoomorrow, I was just, I was just, I'm just, I'm just tho-I's just that, I'd done more I wish I'd more music I wish I'd been around more. I now because of those long gaps I'm having the time of my life I mean my 50s now my kids are off hand being a grandma means you get to give him back and I get to go in the room you know good luck guys you still got you on for a while but mine I just love that so now I'm living the best time of my life and I think you know maybe it's because it is meant to be now you know you know nothing happens before it's time and I'm here for it I'm enjoying thin. I'm enjoying it. I mean I went
Starting point is 00:19:59 on a 32 date tour last year which I would never have done have my kids been younger because I've be more concerned that oh my God, which I would never have done had my kids been younger because I would be more concerned that, oh my God, you know, I would have been away for too long. I was away from home for like three weeks before doing stuff coming back for a day and going back, but that would never have happened. I would never have happened. I would never have allowed it. And you're doing massive arenas now inield Cardiff Manchester Ayo Arena just to be clear not the one that doesn't work as an arena Brighton London and Bournemouth yes and so do you think your kids will come and watch those oh no definitely my kids have been shameful when they're already they pull pranks to me I'll go and I'll maybe it's like sunshine or something and sometimes I will all kind of close my eyes and sing and then someone's like
Starting point is 00:20:50 did you see Jordan my son's up there with my audience trying to grab my hand and I don't realize I'm getting. And I mean, you know, they pull pranks on me all the time. So they do turn up with loads of their friends. thir th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that, that, that, that, thi, thi, thi, that, that, that, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, their, their, that, that, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. their, th. their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, I I I th. th. th. th. that, that, thi, thi. that, their, that, their, their, their, that. their, toge, that, their, thi, thi, their, their, their friends so I enjoy that so you know the fact that it's arenas it's my first ever headlining arena tour you know so take it over 30 years but I'm really happy to be doing it is crazy isn't it but you know what nothing before it's time so you know one thing ticked the fact that I'm still here 30 or years later and I have this amazing audience I love it it's it's almost like what you did was sort of th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thi thi the th the th th th the thi thi the. the. th. th. th. th. the. thi. I'm thi. I'm thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th th th th th. th th th th th. th. th. th. th. th. thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeea. thea thea thea thea thea thea through in 93, you know, which is definitely a single female artist, a person of color coming through at that point. Yeah, precise, I love that, I'm loving that. And from like Hackney, working class background.
Starting point is 00:21:33 Yeah, working class girl, that's right. And also, as well, at the time when image was so key, and you know, obviously you wore wore their their their, their, I, their, I, I, I, I, I, their, I, I, I, I, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, their, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, was, their, their, was, was, was, was, was, was, their, their, their, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the.... th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th th th th th th th th th th the. th the all those kind of things. And then you broke through and he had this massive success, which could go to your head and send you mad. But through all this, it seems like you've been really on top of your mental health and what you want from your career in life. You managed to have a lovely family and pick and choose when you toured and toured. And this this this the the the the how have you navigated all of that as a woman in the industry and being pregnant and performing and touring. How have you managed that without sort of losing your mind slightly?
Starting point is 00:22:12 Because that seems like a recipe for a sort of a mental health crisis. How did you feel that went through that time? Do you know something? I think because I was quite stubborn. I think that they're because because to be people trying to... You're in luck. Stubber. And it's a case of I've got to do what's right for me. And I became aware like there were times and I shouldn't diss my label because my label back in the day they're not saying that we're amazing and I know there was a pressure that you're not almost allowed to be sick and I always said to them well if I was their their their their to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be a to be a to be a to be a to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be a to be I I I I I I I I was. I was I was a to to to to to th. I was a thr. I'm thr. thrug. thr. thr. thrown. I'm thrown. I'm thrown. I'm to to to to to to to to to be a to to to go and run a race. So why do you want me to go and sing? And I used to do that and sometimes I still be ill and try and sing. You're obsessed with running Gabriel. You've got to get running out of your hat. I know, that's exactly.
Starting point is 00:22:51 And I'm like you wouldn't ask them and I guess the pressures back in the time. And I suppose nothing to really change but now the platforms home and speak to your fans or you know people do like little things at home you know what I mean and so it's changed but in my day it was a case of I need to do this to me I don't care who's saying oh you need to do this I would do as much as I was meant to do but the moment I felt you know what I'm the moment I felt you know? the moment I felt you thrown. the th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm thin. I'm thin. I'm thin. I'm thin. I'm thin. I'm th the. I'm the. I'm thin't thin' the. No, the. No, tho. No, tho. No, tho. No, thin, thin' thin' thin' thin' thi. I'm th th th th th th th th th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. No, I'm th. No, th. No, th th thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thrown. I'm throwne. I'm to to to me's is a toeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeean. I'm toeeeeean's toeeeeee. I'm th couldn't write. I felt like I hadn't lived it yet, you know what I mean? And I wasn't gonna be one of those singers and there's amazing artists out there who don't write their own stuff. But when I'm talking about my songs,
Starting point is 00:23:31 when you say, Gabriel, now what inspired that song? You better believe that it's something that happened to me. I'm gonna be bored out of my, I talking talking talking talking talking talking talking talking talking talking talking, I, I'm talking, I'm talking, I'm talk, I'm tap's all about my life and if I can't write it because I haven't lived it or I haven't felt it then the thinne. So I just ended up doing things that please me first. The priority was my kids. It still is but now like you know like their the times. It's their times. You first, you know what I mean? But it's one of those things where, like you said, at the time, you know, being a woman, I just had to do what was right for me and I had to suffer the consequences. And I think one of the consequences was that every time I came back with new material, it was like being a brand new artist again, and I think that was quite frustrating for the label. And hence, hence, hence, hence, hence, that, that, that, that, and I, and I, that, and I, that, that, that, I that, I that, I was that, I was that, I was that, I was that that, that that that that was that was that was that was that was that was thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. being thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, being thi, being thi, being thi, th label. Hence why you know I just had to be in control. How did you get to that point though? Was that learned behavior? Have you always been like that? Was it your upbringing? Was it a you know life experience before you got into the music industry? Because everyone knows you've got to be stubborn, you've got to know your work.
Starting point is 00:24:33 You've got to say I don't want to do this. Right., you know, like for example, growing up with three boys, you never fought like a girl. You know what I mean? I mean, physically fought. Not that I'm promoting fist and stuff. Say you can have a tear up. Yeah, you know what I mean? Yeah, back and I'm definitely. Now I can see my rest of the side so I can just have you, I can just have you don't, I can just just just just just just just just just blow you just blow you know, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th th th th th th th th that, I that, like, like, I that, like, like, that, like, that, like, like, that, like, like, like, that, like, like, that, like, like, that, like, that, like, I that, I thatthing is growing up, yeah, my mom was a strong mom, she had me when she
Starting point is 00:25:05 was 17, but she was like that mother lioness, you know what I mean? So that was a thing, and so just speak in your mind, and growing up having a lazy eyelid, I had to be strong because there's always someone trying to pick on you, although sticks and stones didn't break my phones, but if you push me or tried it then they were gonna we're gonna have it you know I mean yeah yeah I can't believe I'm revealing this I'm gonna go but you know because like say it's true and as a girl as someone with a lazy eyelid I wasn't there was no no else who to look like me and at half the time I walk around looking like I was half the time I wa to the to the to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their I I I I the they I the they I they I they I they I they I'm they I they I they I they I they I they I was I was they I was they I was the the the the the they I was very awake because I knew what the thought and who was who. And I think that when you grew up with so many different things going on your life, when I got to say an age, when people are having boyfriends, I was too scared to speak to some guys
Starting point is 00:25:51 because oh just people in general, you know how we're speaking now. For example, the eye patched, the eye patch, because I didn't want you to know it's my lazy eye. I didn't have the money for sunglasses in those days. You know what I mean? So you can see everything, what's and all you can see all? So I think dealing with all that and then by the time I got into the industry but I came in wearing an eye patch. I mean it was something that was the best liberation. I could have, it liberated me thoroughly because of the fact that it was discussed. Well, you've got lazy I live, you're not gonna, you know, it's for me going around showing
Starting point is 00:26:30 my lazy eyes like, well can I have no knickers, I just wouldn't do it. You know what I mean? And if you're a guy, and I know there's guys with. And I know there the guy from the the guys guys guys guys guys the guy's the guy's the guy's the guy's the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th th thi. I th. I thi. I the thi. I was the the the the the the their th. I was the the their lazy. I was their lazy I was their lazy I was their lazy I was their lazy I was their lazy I'll their lazy I'll their lazy. I'm their. I'm their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. I th th th th th th th th th th th th thi. I was lazy. I was lazy I'll th. I'll th. I'll th. I'll th. I'll th. I'll th th th th. thi. their thi. I'll their their thi. I was remember but right just slightly. Well Romesh does as well. Right I never really noticed it so much on him. Maybe I need to look at him more but I think if you're a guy. Turn on the TV your manager I'll tell you that. But if you're a tell you know but guys never had the same restrictions so you can be overweight you can be this you be a girl you're a bit weight and if you're a comedian you can't a you can a the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th th you're a th.

I. I the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. you can address it but if you're a female singer in the 90s. Exactly. I remember reading a headline where they said I was like one of the fatists and I wasn't in that fact now I'm like that good six stone every than I was back then. You know I'm not even joking. So I'm like wow you know women women had it hard. So having all those tho th th th th th th th th th th th th the things things things things things things things things things things things things things things things things things things things things things things things things things things things things things things things things things things things things things to to to to to to to the the same. to the same. the same. to to to their.

I was to do with it, like I said, by the time I burst on the scene with an eye patch, I felt really empowered because I could do my interviews. I didn't look like when everyone was like, you can't wear sunglasses,
Starting point is 00:27:30 because that make you look like you're an upstart. Who do you think you are, your new artist and you barely had stuff out. So, the eye patch was great because because I could hold your gaze. their their their. their. to, thapapapapapapapapapapapapap-I. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

I think by having that bit of empowerment over time I was like actually you know I'm doing interviews they're talking about how's this music come about you know how is Gabrielle's music born basically I'm the singer-songwriter and I have great producers who do the music but I've always been a writer and then it started to make it think, you know what, I'm alright. All right. Not the best thing in the world I wish I was, but I do my own thing. And I think the more you do it, and the more you become comfortable on your own skin, and realize your work.
Starting point is 00:28:12 And it took me a long time, and I still question things. I don't go out and think, oh like, you know what, you know, you're okay, you're doing good, you're still here and people come to see you and you know, I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm a mom, I'm a grandma, but first and foremost, I was this musician, this singer-songwriter, and I love that I get to return to this. I feel I've never been away even though there was an 11-year hiatus, but it's th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi's thi, thi, thi, thi, you're thi, you know, you know, you thi thi, you know, you know, you know, you thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you thi, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you th.

I thi, you're thi, you're to thrown, you're to thrown, you're thrown, you know and it means just speaking your truth. If you're not happy with something speak up I say that to everyone don't hold it in because that can cause a lot of troubles. I've done that before. It doesn't work. You have to be up-to- so this is how I've got to the point where I'm doing what I love doing. I'm here I've said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said said the the the the things all said said said said said said said the things all the things I said the things I said the things I said th said th said th said that all that all th.

I've the. thee. I've thee. I've theee. I've said all the. I've the. I've the. I've the. I've managed to not put music out even though the record companies were frustrated, but I had to live my life in the way that would suit me and do me the least amount of harm.
Starting point is 00:29:12 And if it means, all right, you know what I mean? That's all I can say. I think it's really inspiring to be honest. It's really impressive. Yeah. Incredible story. When you've got kids and stuff, are you trying to pass to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the.......... And, to, th. And, to, th. And, th. And, to. And, to. And, to.c. And, to. And, to. And, to. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And. And. And, th. And, th. And, to obviously it's there for them to see. But how much are you thinking this is what I want to pass on as my kind of attitude to life and stuff? Do you feel like you have passed on to your kids? I mean I don't know if I've done that because my kids say, mom you used to money cuddle us and made us
Starting point is 00:29:35 us scared and so although I was confident but they were they us to grow up true but now that they are you know he's got his own kid I'm like don't never have kids live your life to the fullest until you can you know I mean although when I got pregnant was never by accident it was me trying to get too much information I know I want to be how old was you know how old was twenty you twe five when he was twenty twenty the twe I twe I twenty twenty twenty the twenty twenty twenty the twenty twenty the twenty twenty the the two two the to th two to to to two- I to to to to to to to to to the to the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th th th th th th th thi thi toy try try try try try try try try try. try try try try try try to to to to to to to to three months later so you know the fact that he had his baby last year and he was 28 I'm like okay you're officially like two years old than I was. Because 25's quite early in the music industry but it's quite late if you're from South or East London. I mean like my mom had be at 17s exactly so I remember I have to watch my piece in cues because I've got frames who had babies in the 30s and I th and I th and I th and I th and I have th and I have th and I have th and I have th I have th I have th I have th I have th I have th I have th I have th I have th I'm th I'm th I'm to to to to to to to to to to to to th I'm to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I'm th I'm th I'm th I'm th I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm the the. I'm the. I'm the. I'm the. I'm twoooooo. I'm twooo. I'm two. I'm to say now like okay the 30s and the 40s are like it's like the new whatever it was but for me I'd look at if I'm think oh my god
Starting point is 00:30:28 you're old terrible but I've got to blame my mother she had me at 17 she had her last kid at 23 so like you said the East then they were turning them out right my cousins were pumping him out I ate all of them. I couldn't move for them. My name thought I was gay. You were one of the first in comedy Rob. Like you were considered young in comedy to have a kid. But old in, you were 29, which is quite young in the comedy world I'd say to have a kid. But I was 10 years later than all my cousins. Well there you go. Perfectly sums up how you don't fit in anywhere. Just float around in my own little world. You're allowed, you're allowed, we created this world for ourselves, right? Gabriel, how do you feel like society and the music industry's changed now?
Starting point is 00:31:13 So if a 25-year-old, 22-year-old Gabrielle was coming through in 2024, yeah, would you still go for eye patch or your hair or would you sort of show both eyes or would you do it in a different way or the same? Eye patch every time baby. I'd have to tell you the eye patch. It was like a calling card. It took... It was like, you said, singer eye patch, everyone would know you're talking about.
Starting point is 00:31:36 Yeah, exactly. Listen, I get sent the videos where there's like a famous one where they're like and who did the Bradley Walsh I think who presents a show and like one of the shows where they talk about like oh who did this and who you know and I'm like there's many questions and it's always you know Gabrielle the eye patch you know and I love that and for me like I said I wouldn't change a thing amazing. Yeah. And also like it takes some kind of bird to be doing an eye catch because you know most people wouldn't they probably go with the sunglasses because you wouldn't have to answer the questions. I didn't mind I had nothing to hide in the sense of no problem talking about my lazy eye. It doesn't mean I want you to see it. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:32:16 Now I think if there's another person coming out and like what you you think I should wear? And I'm like, whatever makes you feel comfortable if you've got a lazy eyelid or whatever is, do you, do the thing that's gonna bring you the most joy, you know what I mean? And so in my case, it was the eye patch, again, I wouldn't change a thing. I only wore eyes for a long time and I love that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:47 And I used to wear sunglasses, but I remember being out and these guys, it was kind of raining and it wasn't dark glassy, but it's slightly tinted. And these guys are like, no, yeah, I'm real. What you're going to say now? Well, I'm supposed to, you know, show both my eyes if I don't want to. So no, I just do me, but I think that in today's time where just do yourself, you know what I mean? Just stay true to yourself as you can be and just have fun. So you're a singer song writes, you write your own songs and it have to be about you and from the heart.
Starting point is 00:33:32 You couldn't take someone else's life stories. When is the screw fix mex coming out? That's gonna have to come. We need to all be on this. We need to clear to clear to clear to clear to clear to clear to clear to clear the air the air to clear the air to clear the air the air to clear their to clear. Yeah. to clear. to clear. to clear. to clear to clear to clear to to to to to to to to their their their to to to screw to screw to screw to screw to to to to to to to to to to to their their their their their their their their. their. their. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. tooofix. toofix. toofix. toofix. toofxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. tooe. to. to. tooe. to all be on this one. We need to clear the air on this. So your son, he heard us talk about you going to screw-fix on this podcast and passed it on to you. Precisely. He was like, mum, everyone's sending me this podcasting. Everyone's saying, have you heard this? I thought, this is great. And I so loved the fact that, you know, it's a truth. What you said was was tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to tho, thi, thi, to tho, tho, tho, to tho, to to to th. to th. tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, we thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. And, thi, thi, thi, thi, I so love the fact that, you know, it's a truth. What you said was is true. When I went in there and they're trying to get you to sign up and I'm like, no. I'm not having some stalker person have access to your information, right? And I say that because
Starting point is 00:34:13 I'm not saying that people at screw-up, but you don't know. But you pay for it and you go anyway, so I never did, but the fact that they were saying to you, oh, Gabriel comes in. Like you said, where's your anonymity? You know you've been troubled. That's why you ever been, I love that. Last time you bought an eye patch at Scroofix, you never bought an eye patch from there. When I first moved house and then sold out. Yeah. That's like that. What are the chances?
Starting point is 00:34:47 When I first moved house and then the delivery driver came, I went, oh, you're that bloke off the teliet you, yeah? Don't worry, I won't tell anyone you live around here. And then he went, do you know that David A. Gabrielle, Rio Ferdale, they lived? they. And they. And they. And they. And they. And they. And they. And they. And they. And they. And they. And the delivery. And they. And they. And the delivery. When, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when, when?? When? When? When, when? When? When? When? When? When? When? When? When? When? When? When? When? When? When? When? When? When? When? When, when, the. When, I. When, I. When, I. When I. When I. the. the. the. When, I. the. When, the. When, I. When, the. When, the. When ScrewFix, I wouldn't take the name and address and then he said, Oh, Gabriel comes in here, she won't give us her address either. I was like, well, I can see why. You'll just dishing it out, left, right and center in though. So I love the fact that. She's out of touch with the modern person.
Starting point is 00:35:26 What's you doing in there, Gabriel? That's what we want. What are you buying from Scroofix? I could say I was buying a McAlpine bath trap. I could say I was buying a McAlpiretrap, like I think it's one of the Ben things, I'm going to be completely wrong. But I was going there for lots of different things. I've got building work going on as we speak. So, and I was going in there a lot until I got really busy, but listen, I usually walk around with like my bucket hats.
Starting point is 00:35:53 I love bucket hats. Yeah, I've got so much that, you know what I mean? My brother from another mother, you know what I mean? 100%. So yeah, people still know it's you. I think it blew up slightly, you know, because it was a funny story between us and then the next day a lot of the people that listened to this commute obviously, and you were singing a wantaul station. And you were singing a song in Waterloo Station. So we got under siege. that's the. thagh. thagagagagagagagagu. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

We're talking about you from Scruvix Andrew Waterloo Station.
Starting point is 00:36:32 I remember that. That was in January. It was fun because it was like, like, like you said, no one would expect it. I thin, I think a lot of people doing stuff, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, thi, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th..

You know what I love it? I live my life constantly like that and that's how I love it What's the best way for people to get your album now? Do you want them to the best the best the best the best? the best? the best? the best? the best? the best. the best. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their?

I'm to say. them to scream it on Spotify? Do them to buy the vinyl online? Oh yes. What's best for you? Right, what's best for me? I've got an idea, Gabriel. Why don't we do a market store pop-up outside Screw Fix Elmiz. I'll come down with you. Magnus did it at Camden and I'll stand there. That sounds fun. Yeah and they got to number one. Yeah. And their. their. they's. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. they're. their. th. they're. their. th. th. their. th. their. th. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their.

Yeah, and they got to number one because if you sell a certain amount of vinyl, you can get to number one quite easily. Fantastic.
Starting point is 00:37:27 That's what they say now is that like, that's incredible. Idols did it, I think, where they do like, you do a few in-store things and the sales of debut artist, female solo in the UK, for the first time. Can I just change that info? I went straight in at number two.
Starting point is 00:37:50 Oh, what? What? Yeah, all right. I didn't want to take it away. Oh, no, no, no, no. No, no, no. No, no. No, no. No. No. No. No. No, no. No. Still, no. Still, no. Still, no. Still, no. Still. Still. Still. Still. Still. Still. Still. Still. Still. Still. Still. Still. No. No. No. No. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. the. I. the. the. the. I. I. I. I. I. I.

I, the highest ever debut artists with a debut song going straight in at number two. That had never happened since the charts had begun and then I went to number one. So historically it's still a thing.
Starting point is 00:38:10 Let him just pump that lie out. It sounds better. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'm terrible. I'm terrible. Oh, no, Josh has got it. Oh, no. Josh has got it.
Starting point is 00:38:22 . Yeah, I have. But it is the historical thing. But I mean, people can stream my album. They can buy it. I've actually got finals. It's beautiful. It's like a blue vinyl to match the album. You know, and yeah, I don't mind. Any which way you want my music, you should have it. You know what? As long as I'm getting paid. But can we talk about your gig on Plymse. Tom Jones and Sophie Ellis Baxter.
Starting point is 00:38:45 What's Tom Jones like? Do you know what? I've never met him and I've always seen him on the tele. Yeah. So it's going to be really exciting but I get to open up before him. I say open up I don't know whether it's going to be me, then Sophie. Then, so fiends. the other artists.
Starting point is 00:38:58 That's stone foundation. Well there you go all the other artists that mean. Well yeah because we thought Tunday from Lighthouse family would be there but he's just doing your support and he? What do you mean just support? He's incredible. No, no, I'm just saying he's not going to be at Plymouth Ho with you. No, he's going to be at the Arena Tours next year. The Riders, yeah, no, he's great. We love Tunda. Listen. Listen. Listen.

I was talking about... No, I was talking about my dad.
Starting point is 00:39:46 It's Tunday 80. No, she was talking about Tom Jones. I thought you could talk about Tom Jones. I thought you could have told that Tom Jones. What a confusion. I know. I know. I was thinking. David Beckett would ever get confused in a conversation with Gabrielle. It looks like it's happened. It has. But it's all fun though. It's all fun. It's all fun. Oh brilliant.
Starting point is 00:40:10 And being a grand. Yeah. Because obviously you can approach grand parenting in two ways. You can go, I'm available. I'm the babysitter. I'm here for you. Or you can go, I'm the babysitter. I'm here for you. the babysit. I'm here for as much th for you. I. I. I th for you. I'm th for you.

Right, tore as much as possible. No wonder you got on you out, Mount. No, he came over yesterday. And the good thing about just living like a stone throwing me kids is that they will come over. Even though I might plan my day, my son's like, I'm just coming out. I'm like, yeah, a little bubbering toe and he's in everything now. So I've had to get all this new stuff for him. He's obsessed with sand and I'm like, okay, if you could have some inside, I've got the conservatory where he can be in, but it's filled with, like, like I said, I've got workman in there.
Starting point is 00:40:53 So I'm like, I'm not opening this in and he, because he likes the texture, he's one and you're trying to build things for him like little sand castles.

Michael, I'm not gonna tell you how to do your job, but what you want to do is just clip up for Instagram the question of screw fix and then dot, dot, dot driving people to the podcast so they finally get the story. You are. Josh Whitaker, call me Stephen Bartlett, call me Gary Linneker. Call me Jake Humphreys. I know what the people want.
Starting point is 00:48:28 I know what the people want. Exactly. On a serious check, though. Is it Jake Humphrey? Doesn't matter. I think he'll ever be free with the way he approaches like. Best thing you've ever said. Now, genuinely though, I thought, I that, I that, I that, I that, I don't that, I don't that, I don't that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that was that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. theateat. theat. theat. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. th said. Well, it's trapped in a well of success. Now, genuinely though, I thought that was quite,
Starting point is 00:48:48 and I don't think Gabrielle has been appreciated in her time what she did. Imagine being like, basic, at that age, having that album, we're having, you know, very self-conscious about her eye, then having a baby, then continuing to write massive songs and albums and then choosing to take a hiatus so you could bring up your kids and then come back and do arena tours and be picked out by the biggest artists in the world to do the support, that's unbelievable. What a what a career? What a way to do it? Incredible. I think she's a piece of our culture. Do you know what I mean? She is because I don't think there is a huge amount of th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thr-a, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thr-a, thr-a, thr-a, thr-a, thr-a, thin, thin, thin, thin, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thi, then, then, thin, thiiiiiiiiiiiiii, thii, thi, thi, thi, thi, because I don't think there was a huge amount of, as you said, kind of solo
Starting point is 00:49:25 artist, women of color, coming from working class backgrounds, calling the shots. You know, yeah, in such control of the awful people within the music industry. Yeah, and you know what, even with all that success and being good mates of Adele, and probably earning really well, you still have to go down fucking screw fix. Rob, there's only two things, thi-d, thi-d, thi-in, thi-in, thi-in, thi-in, thi-in, thi-in, thi-in' thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th-in, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their, the their, the the the thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, thooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, the, the, the, the, the, their, fucking screw-fix. Rob, there's only two things that's earned in life. Death and screw-fix. Death and fucking shit jobs you have to get done before you can chill out. To-do lists, the scourge on humanity, but if you don't do them, your fucking bath won't drain.
