Mind of A Genius/Warner Bros. Records artist Gallant has been nominated for a 2017 Grammy Award for “Best Urban Contemporary Album” for his debut solo album Ology. This is the Los Angeles-based singer and songwriter’s first Grammy nomination.
Ology was released in April and includes the singles “Weight in Gold” and “Skipping Stones,” featuring Jhené Aiko. Gallant will release “Bourbon” (Big Wild Remix) on December 16th.
Gallant’s combination of muscular vocal acrobatics and sonic unpredictability has attracted universal tastemaker praise and a growing fan base.
Complex championed him as “The R&B game changer,” while the Los Angeles Times raved: “Precise writing of Frank Ocean, big vocal runs of Sam Smith,” and NME predicted that he has “the voice that will redefine R&B.” Entertainment Weekly, The Fader, and Billboard have also shown support. Sir Elton John summed it up best saying, “Gallant is gonna be huge.”
In addition to performing at Coachella and SXSW in 2016, he collaborated live with Seal and Sufjan Stevens and sold out his first two New York and Los Angeles shows. Gallant has also appeared on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon and The Late Show with James Corden.
