As many of you know…. my new single is out. I am so glad to see you enjoying the romantic summer vibe.. there is nothing like summer music for engaging in good times.
We have had more than our share of stress lately. In light of this, and with the winter months behind us, I thought it would be nice to write a warm weather song. One where we remember our connection to each other and more importantly to love.
We just released the music video “Summer in the City” on YouTube today. Be on the lookout for the upload directly to Facebook.

Here are some blurbs about the release and links to some really great reviews.
smoothjazz.com says: As he celebrates a remarkable 35 years since his #1 Billboard pop/R&B smash (“Shake You Down”), singer/songwriter Gregory Abbott is still moving us, with this musical invitation into the sultry, romantic flow of the season with his infectious, slow simmering single, “Summer in the City.” It’s the perfect summer soundtrack that that adds emotional heft to his prolific legacy of singles. With just a tinge of balmy Latin energy reflecting his Venezuelan/Antiguan parentage, the song creates a perfect slow dance mood while showcasing his lush, soulful lead voice as he interacts playfully with a flirty chorus of shinning backing female vocals. Make some new memories with Gregory Abbott’s “Summer in the City”!
NoHoArtsDistrict.com by Samantha Simmonds Ronceros GORGEOUS WARM SOULFUL VOCALS, SWEETLY ROCKING US, GENTLY CHARMING US. SIMPLE MELODIES, CLEVERLY LAYERED WITH BEAUTIFUL BACKING VOCALS AND RHYTHMS.IT’S ALL ABOUT SLOW DANCING IN THE WARM NIGHT AIR, ROMANTIC, SWEET, UNPRETENTIOUS.
Summer in the City Single Review by Karen Bernadello for "Shokya!" The track, which features Abbott’s signature downtempo groove and uplifting, rejuvenating rhythms, sets the mood for fun romance. The musician, who has Venezuelan and Antiguan ancestry, enthrallingly infused his Spanish and Caribbean heritage into his latest tune, which is driven by breezy guitar strumming.
Lastly, I want to bring to your attention an imposter on YouTube to be aware of. While we are working on getting our final verification badges for Instagram and YouTube please be aware that there are always scammers out there. I want to publicly post the fakers email address and YouTube link and what he is saying so that you may be more aware. Please report this person, block him and do not attempt to speak to them… as they are up to no good.
They are using the address gregoryabbottofficial@gmail.com and they seem mostly to use “hangouts” or Whatsapp. This is not my email address and I am on neither whatsapp nor do I use google hangouts.
His fake YT channel is __https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGdg9kFUqzz1vDFxD43KLfg He says: “I want to Specially appreciate you for being a big fan. Thanks for your nice comment onmy post, it  means a lot to me. I want you to send me a direct message via gregoryabbottofficial@gmail.com, or send your WhatsApp number.”… there are variations on this theme

So that’s that… Stay safe. I hope covid wise, things in your areas have begun to open up and we continue to regain our freedoms safely… Now… on to some summer music.
“Fly through the world like a peaceful dove…. sing a pretty song, spread a little love.”

New Single Announcement

summer in the city release announcment blog

Hi everybody 

It’s been a while since I’ve posted here on the blog.

I think it was even before the site redesign which I hope you love. I do. I love all the changing colors and the tabs for such and such are better organized… says my staff 🙂

I wanted to officially announce my next single release called “Summer In The City”.  It is a downtempo song ….(which just means easy smooth listening to you and I). I hope you enjoy it as much as I did creating it. Above, is a recipe for summer fun. The song just feels like summertime for me and all the things we love to do and feel in the season. I’m told there will be some merch available in the shop soon and we are in the editing stages of a music video too.

I hope our future allows us more freedom in the coming months to go out and do what we all love to do in the summer…. And hopefully, this song will be the soundtrack for it.

Be on the lookout for all the social media posts and such and if you feel inclined to support me by liking sharing reposting etc it would be really appreciated as always. And we’ve made a presence on TikTok for all of you on there. The account name is @gregoryabbottmusic

Thanks to all the new supporters that have been commenting and saying hello and a very special shout out to all you lovelies who have been with me for the long haul.

I am humbled and grateful for your kindness and well wishes.

Best to you all.

Musically yours,

Gregory

…a quick thanks

I just wanted to thank you all so much for your support of  “Chill” which did so well.

I am depositing here for posterity some of the info from the main post.

Press

Groove balladeer Gregory Abbott’s new single “Chill” – offers sage advice for these troubled times in the most engaging, rhythmically seductive way possible. Over a slow, simmering groove, the singer wraps his soulful vocals and uplifting lyrics about not worrying with horn section punch, gospel-tinged female backing vocals, and – most exciting of all – Gerald Albright’s inimitable sax harmony and emotional soloing. A welcome visit from a cherished musical friend, “Chill” is the perfect anthem to vibe to as we head into 2021! @smoothjazzglobal 

Attached is review by top 40 charts of the release I thought I would share.

I send prayers to you all for your safety… Stay warm… Stay safe….

And of course Stay “Chill”.

As always, I am

Musically yours,

Gregory
