Nel 2023, il soul tende a suddividersi in due categorie distinte: da un lato, i fautori del revival del genere, saldamente ancorati nella tradizione degli anni '60 e '70 (dove troviamo i gruppi della Daptone, come Thee Sacred Souls e The Budos Band, ma anche St. Paul & The Broken Bones, Mayer Hawthorne e Durand Jones & The Indications), e dall’altro, gli artisti più radicati nell'R&B, che coniugano la loro sensualità con produzioni e ritmi più contemporanei spesso diluiti nell'hip-hop (dove troviamo alcuni pionieri del nu-soul, come Erykah Badu e D'Angelo, fino a Jazmine Sullivan. Artisti che non amano i suoni retrò...). I Gabriels hanno deciso di non schierarsi con nessuna delle due fazioni! Questo grazie soprattutto al carattere così atipico di questo incredibile trio, formato dal carismatico cantante californiano Jacob Lusk, che all'età di 35 anni ha già una lunga gavetta alle spalle (al fianco di Beck, Diana Ross, Gladys Knight e Nate Dogg, oltre ad una partecipazione ad American Idol), dal britannico Ryan Hope, polistrumentista e regista di video musicali, e dall'americano Ari Balouzian, musicista di formazione classica. Una combinazione che ha dato vita a un'affascinante miscela di tradizione soul e suoni contemporanei, che troviamo nel loro album di debutto, Angels & Queens.

L'arma segreta di questo elettrizzante e rinvigorente album, premiato con un Qobuzissime, è il suo cantante. Lusk sembra in grado di fare qualsiasi cosa! Dal cantare in un falsetto rovente in stile Curtis Mayfield, al portare avanti la tradizione gospel in modo forte e chiaro, fino al sussurrare come un innamorato folle: la tempesta vocale e tonale che produce è travolgente! Dietro a questa pirotecnica mozzafiato, l'artista elabora anche testi davvero toccanti e personali, mai sdolcinati quando si spinge nell'introspezione, né paternalistici quando affronta temi impegnativi. E se la sua voce è un tale magnete, è anche merito del lavoro di Ryan Hope e Ari Balouzian, che hanno creato l'ambiente perfetto per farla risplendere. Fiati precisi, archi mai invadenti, percussioni ben equilibrate, cori vivaci, arrangiamenti meticolosi: una magia avvolgente, sia nelle ballate che nelle composizioni più incalzanti. Un Qobuzissime a dir poco divino! © Marc Zisman/Qobuz
