GALLANT RELEASES NEW SINGLE “SLEEP ON IT” DOWNLOAD ARTWORK HERE JOINS SABRINA CLAUDIO ON THE TRUTH IS TOUR BRAND NEW ALBUM SWEET INSOMNIA COMING SOON August 23, 2019 (Los Angeles, CA) Today, GRAMMY® Award-nominated, critically acclaimed singer and songwriter Gallant unveils a new single entitled “Sleep On It.” Get it HERE via Mind of a Genius/Warner Records. Sonically channeling turn-of-the-century R&B, the track integrates lush acoustic guitar, a thick beat, and an enticing falsetto. Gallant goes from intimate verses into a captivating chant upheld by his smooth signature sound and a burning question, “Why don’t we sleep on it?” “The song is about putting aside your pride and reconciling, after butting heads in a relationship. It’s about reconciliation,” Gallant said. The single bridges eras of R&B as a perfect throwback blend combined with a future-facing sound. It also sets the stage for the arrival of his second full-length and one of the year’s most anticipated R&B offerings, Sweet Insomnia—due out in the fall. In September, Gallant joins critically acclaimed singer/songwriter Sabrina Claudio as direct support on her Truth Is Tour. It kicks off September 21 at The Wiltern in Los Angeles, visits significant markets across the country for seven weeks, and closes out November 8 at SOMA in San Diego. In between, he performs at Life Is Beautiful, Bumbershoot, and AfroPunk (Atlanta) festivals. Check out the full confirmed itinerary below, and get tickets HERE. He paved the way for Sweet Insomnia with previously released singles “Sharpest Edges” and “Crimes.” VMan debuted the music video for “Sharpest Edges” as the song received acclaim from The New York Times who stated, “The pleasurable payoff is in the music, harking back to the 1980s era of Michael Jackson’s vocal harmonies and Prince’s synthesizers, all sweet, glassy smoothness.” Wasting no time, “Crimes” came quickly after. Time included it among “5 Songs You Need to Listen to this Weekend” and stated, “Gallant has been following up his Grammy-nominated 2016 debut Ology with an impressive string of releases…his delivery is so slick, and the song so intimate and catchy, that it plays more like a come-on than a kiss-off.” What's more, Gallant earned a "Video for Good" nomination at this year's MTV VMAs for "Runaway Train" with Jamie N Commons and Skylar Grey. The award show will air on Monday, August 26th. A fan of the hit cartoon series, Gallant was honored to join Chance the Rapper, Estelle, James Fauntleroy and more as a musical contributor to Steven Universe The Movie—the musical version of the Cartoon Network show due in the fall.
