Sorry for not being in touch lately…
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.

Hello Gorgeous Girl!
I was so very sorry to hear about your loss. My sincerest condolences and commiserations. I have two close friends going through terminal stages of cancer at the moment and i know how crushing that can be. Spend time with the family, remember the happy times with your aunt and take comfort in good things in your life. You will feel better in time.
On a positive note – it sounds like your album is coming along great. It is so much work but so exhilarating too, isn’t it? Enjoy it as much as you can – you know how many people are waiting for it with baited breath.
Sending you much love from Poland, where i am at the moment

Dearest G -
I cannot tell you how sad I am for you with the loss of your very dear Aunt. I lost my Mom to cancer two years ago and it was devastating. I know my Mom is in a better place and you can find comfort in knowing that your Aunt is too. Be happy knowing that she is now your guardian angel watching your every move and helping to guide you in your most difficult decisions. You and she are now a powerful force and she is constantly by your side forever.
Wolfman is one of my very best friends. His support for you has enlightened me to your outstanding character and music. I am now a fan of your music and moreover your wonderful personality.
Please accept my deepest condolences and may you find strength in your new guardian angel.
Love always – Cheryl
I sincerely thank you all!!!
The support and out pouring of love for Gisel is what family is all about. I love you all…you’re the best family anyone could ever ask for and I mean that from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you all so much for supporting Gisel in this difficult time…
Wolfman
