Gabrielle Vaughn’s new single, “Under My Skin,” is a striking display of emotional depth and sonic intensity. Co-written with Jesse Brock, duo Oh Buddy! (Chase Bader, Conor Kelly), and Alyssa Scott, the song is a lyrical journey through the raw vulnerability of longing, captured through lines like, “I got you wrapped around, I feel you under my skin, pulling me back again.” The song’s haunting instrumentation and shifting dynamics mirror the tension of the emotions it portrays. Produced by Grammy-award-winner Jesse Brock, the song is an instant standout in Vaughn’s growing discography.
Vaughn’s voice cuts through the melody, drawing listeners into the story’s heart — a complex emotional landscape where desire and frustration are palpable. This track is more than just a love song; it’s a vivid snapshot of the push-and-pull of human connection, underlined by the infectious, driving rhythm that sets the stage for a passionate chorus.
Discussing the track, the artist shares, “Collaborating with such a talented team — Oh Buddy! (Chase Bader and Conor Kelly), Alyssa Scott and my producer Jesse Brock have been an incredible experience. This song takes a softer, more vulnerable direction for me, yet it still packs an undeniable intensity. The guitars create this beautiful, intimate atmosphere, and the lyrics — ‘I got you wrapped around, I feel you under my skin, pulling me back again’ — speak to a longing that’s as real and raw as it gets. Lines like ‘Maybe I’m caught in the middle / Of a train that’s moving too fast’ and ‘Like a storm full of lightning / The thunder’s always late,’ the track captures that feeling of being completely swept away by someone you want so badly, but can’t quite grasp. It’s a song that captures the push and pull of desire, and I’m so excited for everyone to feel its depth and energy.”
Vaughn’s music merges pop, alternative, grunge, and R&B influences into a captivating sound that transcends genre and blurs musical boundaries. With thunderous riffs, pulse-pounding bass, and commanding vocals, her work has undeniably impacted the Nashville music scene and beyond. Her breakout single “Lovestruck” landed on TIDAL’s Pop Art editorial playlist, solidifying her place among her generation’s most exciting alternative artists.
As a member of the duo ElectraQueens, Vaughn, alongside powerhouse Jenane, has captivated 160K followers on TikTok with “You Sing Melody” videos. Their work, including the track “Let Me Happen To You” with The Bacon Brothers (Kevin Bacon, Michael Bacon) is helping to reshape the future of music, and their City Winery debut alongside The Bacon Brothers marked a monumental moment in their rise. Vaughn’s presence in Space Radio, a highly-regarded Nashville cover band, further showcases her ability to command attention. Her live show captivates, with performances at iconic Music City venues like The End, Eastside Bowl, and EXIT/IN.
