Gabriela Diamond Reveals Catchy New Release “Timeless”
Gabriela Diamond, the 19-year-old sensation from Cape Town, South Africa, impresses once again with her latest release, “Timeless”. Known for her electrifying brand of alternative pop, Gabriela’s music captures the essence of youth and vulnerability, creating a profound connection with listeners around the globe.
Drawing inspiration from the likes of Lorde, Amy Winehouse, Jorja Smith and Charli XCX, Gabriela Diamond infuses her distinct style into every note, establishing a musical identity that is uniquely hers. Her honest and heartfelt lyrics resonate deeply, echoing the challenges and triumphs of young people navigating a tumultuous world.
“Timeless”, produced by and co-written with Lesedi Letebele, embodies the magic of love and the joy of cherishing moments with those who hold a special place in our hearts. Gabriela shares, “‘Timeless’ personifies love and the beauty of having fun with the people that mean the most to us. The track was created in a moment of spontaneity. After Lesedi and I had spent a month trying to crack the code of another song, we decided to see what would happen if we were to revisit an old beat he had created years prior. Within those three hours ‘Timeless’ was written and recorded. The entire process felt like the definition of natural.”
“Timeless” is a testament to Gabriela’s boundless creativity. Seamlessly weaving together the styles of her influences, she crafts a sound that will resonate far and wide and draw in many new fans. Her authenticity shines through in each melody, creating a compelling narrative that draws listeners into her world.
Gabriela’s journey has only just begun. With the release of “Timeless”, she continues to build upon her discography, enchanting audiences with her genuine approach and raw talent. As she gears up to unveil more singles and an EP in the near future, she is surely establishing herself as a force to be reckoned with. “Timeless” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms.

Plain Mister Smith returns with Bric-À-Brac Attack, a beautifully offbeat collection of indie-folk, pop and atmospheric songwriting. Released via Amelia Records, the album finds the Vancouver and London-based multi-hyphenate turning fragments of memory, relationships and everyday absurdity into something quietly cinematic.
At its centre is “Grindavik”, a shimmering, reflective track inspired by the Icelandic town shaped by recent volcanic activity. Bright acoustic guitars and steady drums carry a constantly shifting chord progression, mirroring the song’s central metaphor of a relationship under pressure and the hope that its fissures can eventually heal. Featuring Jordan Klassen and Kitt, the track captures the emotional tension that runs throughout the album.
Elsewhere, Bric-À-Brac Attack moves effortlessly between playful guitar-driven moments, lush arrangements and more introspective passages. “Miss Sunshine” brings infectious energy, while collaborations with Findlay Brown, Leeroy Stagger, Krystle Dos Santos and Tyson Mostenbocher add colour to an already eclectic record.
Former guitarist of Canadian darkwave band Moev and a cellist with the Vancouver Philharmonic Orchestra, Plain Mister Smith brings an unusually broad musical perspective to his songwriting. Yet Bric-a-Brac attack never feels overly calculated. Instead, it has the charm of something discovered rather than constructed.
Warm, strange, melodic and emotionally searching, Bric-À-Brac Attack is a record that rewards getting lost in its details. Plain Mister Smith may remain deliberately mysterious, but the music itself speaks with remarkable clarity.
