What happened next?
Gabrielle continued her success into 2000 with the follow-up to "Sunshine", the title track from the album, "Rise." "Rise" used the back-beat from "Knockin' on Heaven's door" and it gave her second ever UK chart-topper. A further 5 Top 20 followed including "When a woman," "Should I stay", "Out of reach" (from the movie, "Bridget Jones' Diary") and "Don't need the sun to shine". Surprisingly, "Stay the same" was her last UK Top 20 in 2004. Gabrielle recently appeared in the second series of Masked Singer UK (2021) where she was Harlequin and finished a respectable 4th. At the same time, Gabrielle released her 7th studio album, "Do it again" and will be touring in the UK later in 2021.
