‘Compromise’ by Gallant featuring Sabrina Claudio is a song of love and compassion. The rhythmic beat compels your body to move. Two beautiful voices entwine, the flavourful male dances in the tropical air as her sugary sweetness caresses your skin. The thought of you spending the night with me. There are modern pauses and light fragments mimicking a thought, a moment’s kiss, the rushing waves, a tender feeling. I need somebody.
Gallant widens the scope of R&B with relatable confessions and thought-provoking cinematic concepts. The GRAMMY® Award-nominated iconoclast and innovator strikes a balance between bedroom-ready throwback production and nuanced narratives. This approach notched a GRAMMY® Award nomination in the category of "Best Urban Contemporary Album" for his breakout debut Ology. Additionally, the record debuted in the Top 25 of the Billboard Top 200, emerged on Entertainment Weekly's "25 Best Albums of 2016 (So Far)," and attracted acclaim from The Guardian, Pitchfork, The FADER, and more. Not to mention, he drummed up over 100 million-plus streams to date. He brought those songs on the road alongside John Legend, entranced audiences at Coachella, and performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Later... with Jools Holland, and NBC's Today. Plus, he made his acting debut on HBO's Insecure. Now, he projects his vision like never before on 2019’s Sweet Insomnia [Mind of a Genius/Warner Records] introduced by singles “Sharpest Edges,” “Crimes,” and “Sleep On It.”
