Multi-Genre Singer-Songwriter Barcenilla Releases the Visual Complement for the Single “Forget You” off of His Checkered Skies” Album

Gabriel “Barcenilla” is a multi-genre singer-songwriter, rapper and dancer residing in Phoenix Arizona. Originally from Manila, Philippines, his eclectic sound honors his American roots as well as his Filipino/Spanish ones. The first thing that you will notice about his music is definitely his euphonious and sweet-toned vocals. The way they melt over candid instrumentation like butter! This has endeared him to a massive global audience as listeners camp in their numbers to experience such authenticity and elegant style that Barcenilla has been bringing to the table!

Barcenilla recently released his album, “Checkered Skies”- a 9-piece collection that has some stupendously written and passionately delivered tunes. And those cover arts are breathtakingly eye-catching. The tuneful track, “Forget You” is a single off of this album and this emotional piece will get you reminiscing about old memories as the lyrics miraculously take us through a route so many of us have been before.

First things first- the laid-back acoustic groove provides a glamorous bed of support for his raw vocals that hold so much immaculate power to flourish. There is a way that his vocals and the acoustic vibe bounce off and complement one another.

The song captures the bittersweet mood of lingering and not wanting to let go. That yearning and feeling lonely- contrast brilliantly; it is sad and beautiful and brought to life by the vibrancy of Barcenilla’s vocals. The melodies cradle you and the music video is the best visual complement to this track.

The water scene is very symbolic and signifies drowning in a relationship and he in turn passes a very deep message here- that sometimes leaving is for the best because sometimes you might stay only to end up drowning and never recovering- such impactful cinematography here that speaks volumes even without so much action.

This is a very touching, soothing and moving piece that will be a straight favorite to many listeners due to the relatable nature of the lyrics, the acoustic euphonious vibe and that heart-warming vocal presentation.
