Greetings/Hola…
It’s been a while since Gisel posted anything new and there’s a good reason for that…as her friend, I will be sharing some sad and some good news with all of you in this post.
Shortly after returning to Argentina last month, Gisel’s Aunt passed away after battling cancer these past months. As you can imagine, this has been a devestating blow to Gisel and her family. For those of you who were fortunate enough to meet her, you would know that if her Aunt was anything like Gisel, she will truly be missed by everyone who knew her, no matter where they crossed her path in life.
If she was like Gisel, she would have been a giver, she would have never been a taker; she would have always been there to help others no matter how busy she was; no matter the time of day; and, she would have never asked for, or needed anything in return.
It is for all these reasons and more, that I also grieve with Gisel and her family’s loss with a heavy heart. Gisel wanted everyone to know that she hasn’t forgotten about them…it’s just that right now, these are very difficult times for her and she sincerely hopes you all understand.
About her album…she received two of the finished songs today from Marcus Bishop, her producer. She is extremely happy with how they sound and is simply amazed with what she heard. For those of you who know Gi and her music, that is a very good sign of things to come. Gisel is a perfectionist and that is just one of the many qualities and reasons that I, and so many of you fell in love with her music; so when she expresses this kind of joy…I have to believe this album will be nothing short of exactly what I expected out of her!
The two songs she is referring to are, “What People Say” and “I Found You“. She was a little surprised because, during the recordings, she did so many improvised vocal arrangements, she didn’t remember doing some of what she heard. Gisel simply let herself “go” and since the improvised arrangements were not part of the original song, she didn’t remember singing them. All I can say is she has an incredible talent and I have all the confidence in the world, that she will blow us all away with her album!
For me, if Gisel is this pleased at this stage of the recordings, I can’t wait to see her reaction to the finished product. By that, I mean…what she heard was BEFORE the songs have been mastered. So, as you can imagine, once her album has been mastered, there is a VERY good chance that we are about to hear the best album produced by ANY Sellaband artist yet!
Gisel is doing better each day, but she is still struggling very much with her Aunt’s passing. I’m sure she would be touched by any comments you leave to this posting…let’s all give her our best, okay?
She is a beautiful soul and it breaks my heart to know that she lost someone so close to her.
