Biography
Gabi Almeida is a singer/songwriter/musician/producer from Brazil.
Gabi was born in São Paulo and spent most of her live in London. Her sound is a mixture of these urban styles with breaks and beats around melodies with the English elegance and the Brazilian sensuality.
Gabi started her music career playing and singing with bands and soon was touring with names such as Tricky (performing in the Jools Holland Show, The American MTV fashion awards, festivals and concerts in the U.S.A, Europe and Israel), Five (European MTV Awards), Anne Clark (European Tour and Special featuring on one of Anne Clarks Single Wallies and Sleeper in Metropolis), The Lighthouse Family, Desree, Cathy Dennis (European tours and TVs including Top Of The Pops), Mc Almont (British tour supporting Cindy Lauper, Royal Albert Hall, GLR Radio Live Session). She has also sung on the Porn Kings European single Cmon Amour.
Gabi has lived in Philadelphia and Spain too, where she has produced and performed various DJ sets of Brazilian House.
All this experiences inspired her to produce her first solo work entitled Paint My Colours/ Pinte Minhas Cores. The recordings of her debut started independently in England and later with the co-producer Richard Robson (Amy Winehouse/ Tiesto/ Shakira/ Richard Ashcroft). Back in Brazil in 2006 she spent one year travelling with an acoustic guitar writing more songs that were later recorded and produced in Florianópolis, South of Brazil, with special featuring from guest rapper K-Chaça and other Brazilian musicians. Her album has already had good reviews by MTV, The Rolling Stone Magazine, Vogue and many local newspapers and websites.
Till the Moment You Sleep, from the album Paint My Colours/ Pinte Minha Cores, was chosen for the soundtrack of the Latin American HBO original production series Alice.
Gabi has been promoting her album and touring in Brazil since late 2007, playing at Festivals such as Power To The Peaceful, and venues like The El Divino Club, Studio SP, Na Mata, The Chakras lounge amongst others. Based in London and São Paulo, she is looking forward to take her music back to Europe with her band or her one-woman show full of breaks and beats, backed up by her programmed tracks and textures, her keyboard, her guitar, and her melodic and captivating voice.
Lyrics
Tá Bom Demais
Written By: Gabi Almeida
Ta bom demais e o medo
Não impede mais desejo
Porque ta bom demais e o medo
Excita mais
Quero você não da pra esconder
Quero você mas não vou dizer
Quero você a não vou fingir
Quero você não posso nem fugir
It’s so good
Oh baby I just want to be with you
It’s so good
Oh baby I just want to be with you
So I tell you now, don't let me go
Maybe I am the one who could live in your soul
So come on baby
Don’t waste your time
Another men might come and stop me by.
Do It All
Written By: Gabi Almeida
Why care why mind?
Who wants to know why?
So come on darling
Can’t you see?
Someone is trying
Think about this
Do it all today
Don’t play their games
Go for your thoughts
Do it don't stop, do it now
Dream on is a way to start
A way to see let this wish live
Don’t go to pretend
You don't care
When life is gone
Time has past
It doesn't last and
We miss the best.
Silent Fear
Written By: Gabi Almeida
So many people coming around
Don’t want to see, no one right now
I know I can’t sit here and soak
I have to smile i suppose
I can’t convince myself
I want your love and no one else
And this silent violent fear
It’s slowly killing me
So many friends, mum and dad
I have their love but right now I don’t care
And all I do is sit here and wonder
Someone might be close to you might be loving you.
Um Momento Assim
Written By: Gabi Almeida
Foi sem vontade, talvez com o poder
Eu até gostei de ter
Alguém para conhecer
Não vou mentir não
Pensava em resistir
Mas agora já não posso
Nem fugir
Foi numa oferta ingênua
Sem ter o que temer
Dava bem pra dizer não e
Nem ir te ver
Mas viestes armado
E soubestes usar
Todas as flechas
No certo lugar
Quero você um momento
Um momento assim
Quero você um momento
Momento sem fim
E se você estiver
Por aí pensando em mim
Pode multiplicar, ver além do mar
Não tens mais que atirar
Tanto, tanto tempo quis
Todo, todo tempo aqui
Cedo, tarde, não tem hora, vives em mim
Tudo é lento
O ontem sobreviveu.
Better Than The Rest
Written By: Gabi Almeida
Daydreaming, smoke and steaming
I am here wishing to try your kiss
Sweet warm attraction, my first reaction
I am here hoping to try your kiss
With the correct speed
With the correct time
You set touch on me
And you take me to your dreams
And you lust for my desire
Let your warm skin be inspired
Let your thoughts melt in my fire
Just enjoy yourself
Just you and no one else
With the perfect touch a velvet kiss deluxe
All you hide inside slowly killing time
Don’t resist a thing let's get it right.
Sunburnt Kiss
Written By: Gabi Almeida
Sunbathed dreams a distant love
Sunburnt kisses of a breeze
Rain fall wind i hope you may
Feel just the same way
Soil walked on sweet heart hands
Blizzard sunday warm fire flames
Cold December snow mountain lights
Lovers touch melting ice
Wonderland awake for days
Breathe your skin close my eyes and see
Sand dunes blue see and sky
I almost feel
Your wet skin on mine
Jump and sink all the way with me
Spill the water, dry all stones
Love me more than anyone
Don’t break the spell
Come this way all alone
Sunlight afternoon of shades
Falling red and
A yellow sky
Cold night, moonlight grey
But I am still here I hear you say
Voices talking over me
I feel your whisper
Floating near
No one could ever understand
Your sunburnt kiss
Lives in my head.
Paint My Colors
Written By: Gabi Almeida
Bring me your fire
Bring me your heat
Draw a spark on my flame
Bring me your beauty
Bring me your good taste
Draw a kiss on my face
Could you paint this colours in my soul?
Paint all my shadows in bright light
In bright light
Give me your excitement
Give me your hot blood
Pour your sparkling spice on me
Give me your joy
Give me delight
Pour your ecstasy in my life
Could you paint this colours in my soul?
Hypnotize my shadows in bright light, in bright light
I Can't Find You In My Mind
Written By: Gabi Almeida
I know you weren't here to stay
I don’t know what’s gonna happen
And you might be back
Someday
I know I don’t want to wait in vain
Today you say one thing
Tomorrow is not the same
You, you are leaving my headspace
You know, you
There is someone else trying to take your place
You I can’t find you in my mind
Today you weren't there
When I first opened my eyes
I know you not totally gone
It’s not like you meant nothing
I can’t replace you with the first one no
I know before I couldn't get you out of my head
Now is fun to be in bed with another men
You know even so I like him you still keep coming back
Flashback sends me back to the best times we had
I know, I don’t have to hear what you have to say
Please don’t call me to confuse me
Let me feel what I felt for you one day
Veja bem, já não estas no meu pensar
Tem outro alguém querendo o seu lugar
Olha aqui, hoje não te vi
Quando abri os olhos já não estavas ali
Till The Moment You Sleep
Written By: Gabi Almeida
Beyond our walls
Eyes are closed and I hear
The whispering city
A thousand years
I feel your distant
Eternal world
Building your path
And looking
For the way
To my love
Come to my fountain
Hypnotize me in whirl
Drink me and leave me
Before all the tears
Take all the memories
Return when you know
Revive me and give me
Eternity
Todos os dias
Com você
Your reign is my heart
I’ll breathe it till I die
Tide over, summer, winter
Till I meet you after life
Beyond our walls eyes are closed and i hear
Whispering a thousand years.
Fake Synthetic Pearls
Written By: Gabi Almeida
Playing down the real thing
Love for hate
We still here to feel the breeze
Past we had
Could it bring you back to me
Could change the light?
I’ve seen awaking up
To another day
You know I’ve always waited for your kiss
Just like fake synthetic pearls
I know I close my eyes and dream to see
Just like shine real pearls
If you still lying awake
Think of me
Break the past in pieces blow it
Up in to the wind
Away from here we could just be
Floating up and down
Under the sun
Back in my town
And the noise outside is the sound inside
We used to make
Lying awake.
Menino Doce
Written By: Gabi Almeida
Come my way
It is such a nice day
Stop me by
Don’t make me scared just say hi
And if you need someone to watch
The sunset by the lake
I will be there boy
Come talk to me
Red or white cabernet
Menino doce faz daqui o seu lugar
Menino doce eu só quero te amar
Come my way
It is such a nice day
Stop me by
Don’t make me scared just say hi
And if you need someone to watch
The sunset by the lake
If you regret
I will let you go
Are you crazy enough to say no?
