GABY MORENO RETURNS WITH STRIKING NEW SONG “SOLID GROUND” & MUSIC VIDEO

FEATURED ON GUILLERMO DEL TORO’S ‘CABINET OF CURIOSITIES’ AND NOMINATED FOR US GRAMMY & 2023 GUILD OF MUSIC SUPERVISORS AWARD

Following her explosive run earlier this year, Latin Grammy-winning singer and songwriter Gaby Moreno returns with the release of her enchanting new song “Solid Ground” and a delightful companion video today via Cosmica Artists. In celebration, Gaby shares a sensational video directed by Joseph Ros that playfully captures the universal yearning for stability and security in life and ultimately the freeing sensation that comes from letting go. The whimsical nature of the video paired with Gaby’s richly layered sound that blends the Americana she has been lauded for, ushers in a new era for the exceptional singer. The track is a continuation of her transformative work that has long seen Gaby redefining Americana as the only prominent Latina in the genre and thus opening the space for others on the margins as well.

The release follows Gaby’s stunning X Mí (Vol. 1) project that produced one of the year’s most exciting collaborations between Gaby and Golden Globe-winning and Emmy-nominated actor, producer, and musician Oscar Isaac on the tantalizing track “Luna de Xelajú”. The release received large critical acclaim from Rolling Stone, Variety, Billboard, Entertainment Weekly, People en Español, Popsugar, Latina Magazine, CNN en Español and many more.

Additionally, Gaby received US Grammy and Guild of Music Supervisors Awards nominations that cemented the artist as one of music’s most essential artists as a true trailblazer. Gaby deep impact on the musical landscape and her one-of-a-kind sound have garnered large critical acclaim and the attention of some of today’s most esteemed artists, which has led her to share the stage with the likes of Andrea Bocelli, Tracy Chapman, Ani DiFranco, Punch Brothers, Hugh Laurie, Buena Vista Social Club, Calexico, David Gray, and many more.

GABY MORENO ON “SOLID GROUND”:

“’Solid Ground’ is a song that talks about exhaustion, uncertainty, and longing for stability. Feelings that are deeply ingrained within our human experience. Ultimately, I think it reminds us of our vulnerability and the complexities of our existence but it also grants us the peace of mind and freedom to pursue whatever we want from this life.”
