There are often things that you don’t feel confident saying at the time but would love to get off your chest. This is what ‘Nope’ by Gaby K is all about.

Adding her passion for music builds the power of the single into something relatable. By the end of the track, you will feel able to say what you want to and live your life to the fullest.
‘Nope’ has a curious feeling at the start as the opening tones pluck against your senses. The notes that patter along merge with an RnB flow in the lower levels. The almost sultry slide of the music gives way for a lightly punchy chorus that is packed with popping tones. There is something very soulful about the music even as it combines with a more pop and dance vibe at times. It is a very interesting mixture of tones that fill you with a sense of unhappiness while slowly pulsing power into your veins.
Gaby K’s vocals are a seductive RnB line that cuts through the air above the melody. Her voice smoothly drapes over the music as she effortlessly draws you into the lyrics. The lyrics are wonderfully relatable even if you have never been in a similar relationship. Through the lyrics, she calls out her ex before telling him that she does not need him. The lyrics perfectly capture everything that people want to say but feel they can’t for a number of reasons.
Gaby K lets loose all the things she left unsaid after a relationship broke up while filling you with the power to say what you need to in ‘Nope’. The sultry flows of the melody combine with the seductive line of her vocals for a captivating single. The lyrics are relatable while the flow of the single is both moving and gentle.
