Gabrielle Sofia brings out an untamed fire in the latest release “Change Your Mood.” Like a splash of color on a black leather canvas, her uncompromising sonic palette immediately reminds you of Lady Gaga in its daring entrance. Stylistically dashing and visually flamboyant, “Change Your Mood” is an anthemic banger that aims to uplift your mood and energy.

The track drives far from Sofia’s comfort zone. In 2021, she released her debut album Lacewood, a pop-infused, alternative R&B. “Change Your Mood” is the first time she marches into the night-inspired EDM and dance music, where little drops of electronic sonic weave together into a more tangible, palpable visualization. The hook “change your mind” is quite hard to forget. Sofia’s sensuous vocal disappears in fading color that leaves your mind with a fantastic string of butterfly effect.

Unlike the traditional song form, the track introduces a series of jumps in colors and scenes that feel fresh and fascinating. “Change Your Mind” never sits in a box. The expectation you have from the beginning is being broken and reshaped over and over again as the song goes. Sonically, it tests established soundscapes and boundaries. It challenges itself.

As a modern pop song that’s as captivating as it is addictive, it also doesn’t stop at the verge of dissonance. With a slightly darker tone, “Chang Your Mood” embraces dissonance in its texture, which makes the joyous color even more precious and the emotions more relatable. Rich, vivid, anthemic but also edgy, Gabrielle Sofia just managed to deliver all of them in one setting.
