Album Notes

Jesse Gimbel is no typical new act searching to be the next flavor of the month. This Philadelphia-based artist translates his life experiences into a fearless and optimistic songwriting process. His debut CD is an example of undiscovered talent being an asset in songwriting. Jesse's thoughts bleed into his songs, making "One Day Closer" a meditative and insightful listening phenomenon. These tracks play like a journal that can sing sullenly or rock out with catchy melodies. "One Day Closer" opens with the buoyant "Gray Fades" that speaks of happiness many adults search for their whole lives. "Dyed Black" swings low into a dark story told with earnest and heart. Jesse Gimbel proves himself to be a talented and dedicated musician. All instruments heard on "One Day Closer" are performed by Jesse. His songs explore all genres and exhibit a wealth of emotion, from angst to shining sanguinity, all with thoughtful lyrics not heard from your everyday beginning act.
