Gabi Sklar is an independent singer-songwriter with a unique blend of soul, folk and pop music. A Long Island native, she made her professional debut in 2017 with “Liberteens” and has since released seven more singles, including my personal favorite and her most recent, “Heart to the Ocean,” an infectious pop collaboration with Studio 54 Music, which makes its presence known with the song’s disco undertones. Like “Heart to the Ocean,” the rest of Sklar’s music carries within it a heavy pop influence. Make no mistake, however, this isn’t bubblegum pop. Sklar pours her heart and soul into hers work, displaying a touching level of openness and honesty, especially in “Fake Tans, Fake Tits & Drug Problems,” an ode to the insecurities she grapples with on occasion.
