Having issued an abundance of EPs and singles since 2017, Keshi proves his worth as an album artist with Gabriel. The first full-length from the singer/songwriter, instrumentalist, and producer starts boldly (by his standard) in brash, booming style while also incorporating his familiar, feather-light falsetto and breezy acoustic guitar work. After that, the album settles into a refined sequence of sensitive ballads and slow jams that see Keshi gradually coming into his own, his inspirations -- the likes of John Mayer, Frank Ocean, and Bryson Tiller -- not as perceptible. Although its brief for an album, just over half-an-hour in length, Gabriel sounds like a complete and thoroughly considered statement. ~ Andy Kellman
