Gabrielle De Val - Kiss In A Dragon Night (2023) CD-Rip

Gabrielle De Val is a Spanish Singer, Songwriter and Voice-Over Actress, known for her role in The Val and most recently guesting on Bruce Mee’s concept album Circle Of Friends. 'Kiss in a Dragon Night', is Gabrielle's first solo album, organised and arranged by Bruce Mee. Together with producer Khalil Turk (Escape Music), he shaped the idea and created an album involving vocalists such as Steve Overland (FM), Mick Devine (Seven), Robin McAuley (MSG), Mark Boals (Yngwie Malmsteen) and Terry Brock (Strangeways) as well as musicians such as Gary Pihl (Boston), Eric Ragno (Joe Lynn Turner), Johan Kullberg (HammerFall) and Fredrik Folkare (Nordic Union).

Gabrielle de Val started to get involved in the Rock scene when in 1987 she created the band Yin-Yang, which would later be called D'Val, together with several musicians who suggested to her to take part in the 'Villa de Madrid' contest, the most relevant of the Spanish music scene for decades. To the band's surprise, they ranked second in the final, achieving great media coverage and financial aid that they invested in upgrading their equipment and recording a vinyl single, which would be distributed nationally.

Gabrielle composed, wrote lyrics, sang, did interviews... and that's how she turned music into her life. The band recorded several demos that today are part of the treasure trove for nostalgic Spanish Rock-lovers. After that, the band remained inactive... for almost 20 years! In 2010 Alfonso Samos, David Erick, Alex Morell, and Gabrielle reappeared, to everyone's surprise, under the name of The Val and recorded, at last, their debut album 'Back'. And as Gabrielle says, “Good things sometimes come to those who wait... a long wait!” But the world had changed and borders had disappeared for music thanks to social networks and the countless possibilities they offered to go one step further; that's how an album conceived to close a stage of the past became the key to opening a new and fascinating future. The album was widely distributed and supported by important media such as Classic Rock Magazine and Fireworks Rock & Metal Magazine, which made possible the recording of a second album, 'Heading for the Surface' (2015), and a third one, 'King Ocelot' (2020), all of them with extraordinary reviews from the specialised media.
