Close Encounters of the GERLE Kind

GERLE, an indie-pop artist based in California, draws inspiration from icons like Robyn, Miley Cyrus, and Madonna, yet she infuses her music with a unique and effervescent quality. Unapologetically herself, GERLE's musical journey began on the road with her mother, shaping her distinctive artistry. Music became her sanctuary, exploring themes of heartbreak, truth, and love in her current creations.

Giving yourself up willingly to another person is an act of trust and vulnerability, showing courage and openness in forging a deep connection. It involves being authentic and allowing someone to see and understand you fully. The act itself can be both empowering and liberating, but it can also prove to be beyond your control. Enter GERLE's newest track, “E.T”

“When your love for another is so overwhelming, you give away your power, no questions asked…But the power was mine to give up in the first place. Or literally when you’re abducted by aliens and you remember why they are legends.” – GERLE

The song is almost a study into the captivating and enigmatic aura surrounding someone so charismatic and/or beautiful that they feel “unearthly.” The verses evoke a blend of fascination and ambiguity, likening the subject to both a devil and an angel. The object of GERLE's fascination seems to her as if from another realm, possessing cosmic powers, beyond even her understanding. The repeated mentions of being prepared for abduction and feeling like a victim enhance the notion of being ensnared in something beyond one's grasp. Making for a thrilling juxtaposition of fascination and dread.

GERLE's sound is as mystifying as her lyrical content, thriving on a muted kick and cold, haunting piano and her baroque, ethereal vocals to make for a track that is at once soft and imposing. With singles climbing the Billboard charts, GERLE has earned admiration. Teaming up with Grammy-winning producer ToneDef, she crafts an ethereal sound that captures her essence. National tours and performances at prestigious venues such as The Roxy Hotel showcase her talent and originality.
