Gabriel Audee Releases New Single ‘DICHOTOMY (The Chosen Ones)’
Gabriel Audee Makes the Pop Anthem You Didn’t Know You Needed … Then Posts About the Illuminati
There is a very specific type of artist emerging right now – polished enough for radio, unfiltered enough for the timeline – and Gabriel Audee might be doing it better than anyone. The New York City-based producer and songwriter released ‘DICHOTOMY (The Chosen Ones)’ on February 27, and if the track itself is a sleek, cinematic pop-trap anthem built for empowerment playlists and late-night drives, the man behind it is something altogether harder to categorize.
Sharp-dressed and quietly gay; his identity present but never performed. Gabriel Audee has built a social media presence that sits in sharp contrast to the radio-readiness of his music. Posts about the Epstein files sit alongside studio updates. Thoughts on Hollywood and hidden agendas share a feed with polished press shots and release announcements. He doesn’t appear to find this unusual. That unbothered quality is, increasingly, the brand.
‘DICHOTOMY (The Chosen Ones)’ features vocalist Saule Ilona Vaida – whose hook lands with a luminous, almost ethereal clarity – and rapper Lil Dee, who co-wrote and delivers a verse with real teeth. The production, built over a JRum instrumental and expanded by Gabriel Audee with electric guitar, synths, and live drums, draws favourable comparisons to OneRepublic and Benny Blanco. It’s catchy enough to follow you home and pointed enough to make you think once you get there.
The single is lifted from his forthcoming debut LP ‘Pop Architect’. Gabriel Audee describes ‘DICHOTOMY (The Chosen Ones)’ as a chant anthem for those who see through the smoke and mirrors – and given everything else on his timeline, there’s no reason to doubt him. The music video is out now on YouTube.
