Rising artist Gabrielle Swanks is set to make a powerful entrance with her highly anticipated single “Moon,” scheduled for release on November 17, 2025, via New York’s innovative TRASH agency. Following her earlier releases that showcased her unique creative vision and musical depth, “Moon” marks what Swanks describes as her “unofficial debut”—signaling a new era of focused artistry and refined sound
Produced and curated in collaboration with TRASH, “Moon” reveals Swanks’ evolution as both a vocalist and storyteller. The track floats in a space between dreamy R&B and atmospheric pop, featuring her soft yet compelling vocals over minimalist production that emphasizes emotion and atmosphere. Fans can expect a song that feels both intimate and expansive, a perfect introduction to Swanks’ reimagined artistic direction.
“Moon” is a cool, calm, and beautifully crafted song that highlights Swanks’ understated vocal power. Her delivery is soft yet intentional, with a textured tone that suits the track’s intimate atmosphere. She sings comfortably within her natural range, lending the performance an effortless and authentic feel. Beyond her vocal control, the song itself carries deep emotional resonance, brought to life through thoughtful lyrics and a memorable, smoothly woven hook.
What makes “Moon” particularly significant is that Swanks is calling it her “unofficial debut”, a reflection of her renewed focus and refined approach to music-making. Though no stranger to the craft, having grown up in a jazz band and handled much of her own production, she has now teamed up with New York’s “TRASH” agency to curate and direct the creative process. The result is a track that lives in multiple sonic worlds, appealing to listeners across genres and setting the stage for an exciting new artistic era.
Gabrielle Swanks’ journey into music is rooted in a lifelong love of storytelling. A Nigerian-American artist from Prince George’s County, Maryland, she discovered the power of words early on, encouraged by a third-grade teacher who taught her to see language as a tool for expression. At age 11, hearing The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill became a defining moment, inspiring her to move people through music just as Lauryn had moved her.
She began performing with her high school jazz band at 16 and later taught herself production using FL Studio, releasing her first song at 23. Since then, she has built a growing body of work that blends sound and visuals, often created in collaboration with friends and family. Her debut music video, for example, featured her younger sister and was filmed by a close friend—embodying her commitment to community-centered art.
With “Moon,” Gabrielle Swanks offers a track that feels both personal and universal, intimate yet expansive. As she steps confidently into this new chapter, she invites listeners to join her in a world where storytelling, soul, and sound collide.
“Moon” will be available on all streaming platforms on November 17, 2025:
