GABRIEL JACOBY DROPS NEW SINGLE & VISUALIZER “the one”
Rising R&B artist, producer, singer, and songwriter Gabriel Jacoby unveils his new single and visualizer, “the one”, out now via PULSE Records. A love-driven homage to the uptempo funk sound that once defined roller discos across his hometown of Tampa, the track is built on hypnotic guitars, sharp horns, and a deep groove. Jacoby’s raspy vocals mirror the guitar’s energy, the two moving in sync as he delivers a confident declaration of admiration, making it clear that he is the one.
“I wanted to write something happy for everyone to feel good about and love,” Gabriel shared. “Seems like lately no one feels comfortable to groove, so I created this to give the people what they need, a reason to be themselves, no matter who’s watchin’.”
The accompanying visualizer for “the one” captures the carefree spirit of Gabriel’s hometown, set against the backdrop of United Skates, a local roller rink. Shots of his soulful delivery cut between playful moments on skates with friends, echoing the track’s warm falsetto. As the video unfolds, Gabriel glides across the floor, laughs with the crowd, and leans into the joy of community, a celebration of the vibrant energy that fuels his music.
“the one” follows last month’s blues-tinged love song, “be careful,” which Jacoby initially teased on TikTok, where he has seen a surge of over 30K followers in two months and amassed 2M views and 300.K likes across his page. His acoustic performance of “make it sweet” has drawn more than 186K views, underscoring the growing connection with his audience.
2025 has been an exciting year for Jacoby. He was named one of Shazam’s Fast Forward Artists, sat down with Travis Mills on Apple Music, co-wrote Shaboozey’s “Chrome – Bonus,” and opened for DWLLRS at their sold-out show at The Echo in Los Angeles. With over 4.3 million streams across his catalog, he has appeared on the cover of Spotify’s Vanguard and Tidal’s R&B: Rising, and was featured #1 on Apple Music’s Love Letters, Soul Revival, and Slow Dancing playlists.
Jacoby has steadily built his presence with singles such as “need your love,”(prod. by Nevin Sastry, Shaboozey), “brother and sister,” “forever” (2.2M+ RTD streams), and “hillside,” and has showcased his ability to balance soulful R&B with funk-infused energy with Southern sensibility.
Born in Anderson, South Carolina, and raised in Tampa, Florida, the 26-year old multi-instrumentalist has navigated a range of life experiences that inform his distinctive voice, style, and artistry. Self-taught on guitar, bass, and drums, he writes, produces, records, mixes, and masters all his music, while also directing and editing most of his visuals. His sound is a dynamic blend of R&B, soul, and alternative elements infused with funk, blues, hip-hop, folk, and hints of Southern country. Early work like “Mr. Poet” on SoundCloud showcased his lyricism and set the stage for his breakout in 2022 with “reptile.” Featured on YAMS The Playlist and Lyrical Lemonade, and with co-signs from Shaboozey and Leon Thomas, Jacoby has continued to build momentum, establishing himself as a Southern R&B crooner whose groove, soul, and authenticity are unmistakably his own.
