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. No matter how it's interpreted, sit back and chill to the infectious beats and smooth piano styles of Gabe Carmona. 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.

Lonley + 88k REMIX
Project: Lonely [88k Remix]
Artist: Justin Bieber
Feature: benny blanco
Remix Produced by: Gabe Carmona
Remix Video Editing: Gabe Carmona
Gabe Carmona's production notes offer a fascinating glimpse into the thoughtful process behind the remix of this particular project. Recognizing the inherent strength of the original song, Carmona approached the task with a mindset that prioritized preserving the ambiance and essence of the track's core message.
Delving into the details of his creative choices, Carmona reveals that, upon repeated listens, he discerned piano riffs in the upper octaves and identified other musical synth elements within the track. These discoveries served as the foundation for additional layers that he would later integrate seamlessly into the remix. The challenge, however, lay in maintaining a delicate balance – enhancing the song with new elements while ensuring they complemented rather than overshadowed Justin's vocal delivery, a key aspect of the original composition.
Carmona's decision to take on the project speaks volumes about the personal connection he felt with the song. In an era where remixing is approached selectively, this track stood out as one that resonated deeply with the producer, inspiring him to lend his creative touch to its reinterpretation.
The final touches were applied in Carmona's studio, aptly named The G Suite, where he meticulously mastered the version. The approval from entities such as UMG, UMPI, BMI, and others underscore the professionalism and quality of the remix. The ultimate release on Youtube marks the culmination of a journey guided by Carmona's artistic sensibilities and respect for the integrity of the original composition.
