Los Angeles gospel-soul project Gabriels have announced a four-track EP titled Blood On My Hands, scheduled for November 20. The release marks the outfit's first collection of new material since 2023, initiating an adventurous collaborative era following vocalist Jacob Lusk's departure in 2024.
Founding members Ari Balouzian and Ryan Hope continue as a core duo, enlisting an array of acclaimed guest vocalists. Lead single "Break It" features Brooklyn disco-soul sensations Say She She, infusing rhythmic grooves into Gabriels' cinematic string arrangements. Additional tracks feature LA vocalist Evita and artist Qing.
The EP compiles "Blood On My Hands", "Break It", "Eye of the Needle", and "Lazy Afternoon". Gabriels originally captured global acclaim with their debut Angels & Queens, celebrated for its blend of symphonic soul and devotional intensity.
Rather than auditioning a singular replacement for Lusk, Balouzian and Hope have turned the project into an expansive revolving creative collective. Stay tuned for further R&B updates in our news archive.
