“when i was younger, i had an image in my head of who i was to be as i got older. how i was going to act, dress, what type of friends i would have, and the things i wouldn’t do until i was married or twenty one. then i grew up and stuck to none of it. for a while, i didn’t know why the things that were so important to me when i was younger no longer were important. then i realized what i wanted in life had just changed, and that’s ok. a study of the human experience volume one is about my life experiences and the experiences of those i collaborated with on this project. for me, growing up is all about making mistakes and learning from them. it just sucks sometimes that i have to make so many to learn.” – GAYLE

Chart-topping pop singer-songwriter GAYLE has unveiled her eagerly awaited debut EP- a study of the human experience volume one arrives via Atlantic Records/Arthouse Records today; available now HERE.

a study of the human experience volume one sees GAYLE continuing to reveal a larger-than-life personality and willingness to expose her deepest insecurities and desires through her unfiltered yet beautifully nuanced brand of songwriting. Hailed by Rolling Stone as “a summation of GAYLE’s experiences as a teen, filled with lessons learned and failed friendships,” the EP includes the 17-year-old, Nashville-based artist’s newly RIAA platinum certified, billion-streaming, worldwide #1 breakthrough hit “abcdefu” alongside its spirited follow-up, “ur just horny,” and the rocking new single, “luv starved,” the latter of which is joined by an official music video premiering across a range of MTV platforms, airing at the top of every music hour on MTV LIVE, MTV Biggest Pop, and MTVU, and streaming now via YouTube HERE.

Written by GAYLE, Jonny Shorr, and Sara Davis, “luv starved” is a track that ponders whether love is worth the risk, or if just lust will do. “i had made so many mistakes when it came to my relationships and love life,” says GAYLE. “i pushed every possibility of it away until somebody came into my life that i didn’t want to push away, and i couldn’t tell if it would be worth it or not to open myself up to the possibility of caring about somebody deeply.”

Earlier this week, GAYLE visited CBS’s The Late Late Show with James Corden for a spectacular live performance of “ur just horny,” streaming HERE. GAYLE is currently celebrating a study of the human experience volume one with a wide-ranging international live schedule that includes her largely sold out feeling it together headline tour, special guest runs alongside AJR and Tate McRae, and her sold out overseas debut performance. The dates – which follow an earlier series of intimate headline shows that were met with such high demand they sold out within moments – continue through late May.

Recently praised by Rolling Stone as being “on top of the world — and its charts” and declared “the breakout song of 2022” by NYLON, “abcdefu” has quickly proven a landmark debut for GAYLE, recently earning RIAA Platinum certification while standing tall at #1 at Top 40 radio outlets nationwide. The track hit #3 on Billboard’s overall “Hot 100” having already topped a range of worldwide charts, including holding #1 on both the “Billboard Global Excl. U.S.” chart for nine consecutive weeks and the “Billboard Global 200” for four consecutive weeks. Now with over 1B worldwide streams, “abcdefu” previously ascended to #1 on the Spotify Global chart as well as iTunes’ “Top Pop Songs” and overall charts. A worldwide phenomenon with gold and platinum certifications around the globe, “abcdefu” is joined by official music video currently boasting over 100M official views.

GAYLE followed up with “ur just horny.” produced by Daylight (gnash, Shawn Mendes) and Pete Nappi (Thirty Seconds To Mars, Madison Beer, Shinedown), and written by GAYLE, Daniel Kyriakides (Sylvan Esso, K. Flay), and Sara Davis, the track was met by immediate popular success, amassing over 18M streams in just over a month since its release.

Fearlessly honest and undeniably magnetic, GAYLE has swiftly earned critical applause from high profile media outlets everywhere while also being named a YouTube “Artist On The Rise,” an Amazon “Artist to Watch 2022,” MTV’s “February Global Push Artist,” and one of Billboard’s “21 Under 21: The Ones To Watch,” to name just a few of her fast accruing accolades. Hailed by FLAUNT for “her own sound blending the genres of pop, alternative, rock, and R&B into one,” GAYLE made her late night network TV debut earlier this year with a captivating interview and electrifying performance of “abcdefu” on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
