Listen: Gabby Barrett releases new single I Hope

2018 American Idol finalist Gabby Barrett has released new single I Hope, her first since finished the Idol tour.

She co-wrote the song with Zachary Kale and Jon Nite, and it’s a kiss-off anthem to a two-timing boyfriend. The song perfectly showcases Barrett’s powerhouse vocals, which took her to the Top 3 on American Idol’s 16th season.

ā€œI am so unbelievably excited to share I Hope with the world,ā€ Barrett says. ā€œAfter my Idol chapter closed, I knew this song was the one I wanted to frame myself with. Being a female, I know what itā€™s like to go through a bad break up and not get to say what you REALLY want to. This song is for anybody that has gone through the same.ā€

The video for I Hope will be coming soon and it showcases Barrett’s transformation as her Country music career starts to take off.

The rising star is currently recording new music with Ross Copperman for an upcoming release. She will also be on the road for live shows including Aprilā€™s Tortuga Music Festival in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
