Gail Belmonte caps 2020 releases with "Restart"

11/19/2020 12:01:21 AM


Gail Belmonte has released her last track for the year.

The Filipina-Singaporean singer-songwriter has recently released Restart, an electro-R&B ballad that caps off a trio of singles  mark her debut as a solo artist signed under Umami Records.

“Restart” immerses listeners into a harrowing tale of breakup and romantic dissolution. Written by Belmonte based on personal experience, the poignant track dissects a kind of love that the singer-songwriter thought was the only thing that she’ll ever get to have. 

“It was deeply upsetting at the time but I learnt so much, including the fact that there will be new beginnings, even if it seems like it won’t be happening anytime soon or in the ways we want,” reveals Belmonte.

Among Gail's releases for 2020, Restart is said to be her most personal track. A steady 808 kick plays throughout this slow-paced song, while the mood flows with a more sober approach.
“I wanted this to be like the sound of a heartbeat, grounding the song musically from start to finish,” shared Gail. 
“Please, don’t forget one thing - it’s to remember me. I’ll love you for eternity”, Gail sings at the end of the bridge, and reflects, “those words seem to stop time for me for a little while. They really highlight the weight that love and heartbreak hold.”
While Restart has been her last release for 2020, Gail Belmonte is currently working on her self-titled debut EP scheduled for release in 2021, as well as an upcoming collaboration with R&B singer Angelo Martinez on an acoustic EP.
