The G SUITE ALBUM
G Suite | Album Review
"The album title alone is a deft double entendre: On one hand, it evokes “suite” as in a collection of songs, and on the other, it invents “hang suite” as a hip euphemism for the celebrity hotel suite.

As always, Carmona's piano work is well represented with its spatial performance that is never overwrought or overplayed. Revisiting his R&B roots, Touch takes you back to the smooth sounds of 90s R&B. Here, he channels his early influences of Guy, Levert, Blackstreet, Jodeci, Mint Condition, Sade, Joe, Keith Sweat, New Edition, and others. Tonight Girl conveniently describes The G Suite’s atmospherics with sexy sax hooks and piano solos. With My Love (My Baby), he created to to capture the essence of his love for his muse...his wife. In its truest form, My Love is the sound of love. 1218 Interlude provides yet another series of smooth teasing chords and melody hinting at his next album? Staying true to his ambient and branded production style, he created Timeless, which was recently approved by The National Geographic Channel for broadcast placement for the use of Icelandic footage for the show, "One Strange Rock". Rounding out with It's U and ending with Wifey, he wraps his debut album.
We can't forget to spotlight the mellow sexiness of Baby Love. This track sets the tone of the album with a sensual tease between the guitar, piano, and playful timpani hits. In perfect contrast, The Gift is hauntingly stunning and is only further accentuated by its inspiring guitar work. Musically, this album is sure to connect with past-time R&B lovers, as well as inspire upcoming producers. Although Gabe has spent his career as a keys-man within other groups, this debut solo album is one that truly captures his musical soul...a true gem.
