"Shine Like the Sun," Gabe's sophomore album, was released July 19, 2011. The album features the dance-rock songs "Boomerang," “Saboteur” and “Hand Over Hand” as well as “Shine Like the Sun” – a lush ballad with an upright piano, strings and an intimate vocal – one of the album’s highlights. Production tricks abound but only add to the well-crafted songs.
James Brown, the Godfather of Soul, had chosen two of Gabe's songs to record - "Rock Me" and "Security." Sadly, Mr. Brown passed away on Christmas Day, 2006. The unreleased tracks may one day be made public. Mr. Brown said of Gabe, "Mr. Lopez gets the funk. He gives us hope for the future of music."
On his just-released debut album, This Is About You, he criss-crosses back and forth between John Mayer-style pop to Justin Timberlake-y soul, throwing in some irresistible dance grooves, too.
"No Hate", Gabe's anti-Prop 8 song, is featured on Gabe's second album "Shine Like the Sun." The album is full of upbeat pop-rock songs and pensive piano ballads. "It's an album you can drive to with the windows down on your way to the beach or up the highway coast," says Gabe.
On the eve of the release of his second album Gabe sat down with Mikey Jayy, host of “The Great Unknowns Present” for an interview to discuss his thoughts on the debut of “Shine Line the Sun”, his musical influences, career as an independent artist and more.
