Gabriel (Najoua Belyzel song)

It was her debut single from her album Entre deux mondes... en équilibre, on which it is the sixth track, and was released in November 2005.

To date, it is Belyzel's most successful single in terms of peak positions and sales and can be deemed as her signature song.

The music, written by Najoua Mazouri and composed by Christophe Casanave, is a mixture of pop and electronica.

The style of voice is between Cranberries' singer Dolores O'Riordan (a little hoarse at times) and Mylène Farmer (rise in acute notes and singing on the breath).

The lyrics are poetic ("Que ton âme se jette à l'eau dans mon corps océan", "Zéphyr"...) and there are several play on words ("Gabriel, s'attend (Satan) à plus qu'un sentiment...", "Qu'il en soit ainsi ("Ainsi soit-il (Amen)", ...).
