JP Cooper and Gabrielle have teamed up for a brand new single, titled ‘Sad Song’.
Nineties royalty Gabrielle had made a graceful return to centre stage — and for lovers of heartfelt pop, it’s very good news indeed. The Dreams singer is back with a brand-new single, Sad Song, joining forces with chart favourite JP Cooper for a collaboration that feels tailor-made for late-night listening and misty-eyed moments.
The track marks a new chapter for Gabrielle, whose unmistakable voice has lost none of its soul-soaked magic. From Dreamer to Sunshine, time may have passed, but her signature warm tone and emotional honesty remain very much intact.
JP Cooper, who is best known for his hit single September Song, shared the news with barely contained excitement on Instagram, describing himself as “very VERY excited” and calling the collaboration an honour. His enthusiasm suggests this isn’t just another feature – it’s a meeting that came with delight for Cooper, as he recalled growing up listening to Gabrielle’s music.
For Gabrielle, Sad Song is her first new material since last year’s A Place In Your Heart. For Cooper, it doubles as a teaser for his upcoming album Just A Few Folk, due in February 2026, a stripped-back, acoustic-led project that leans into vulnerability and raw emotion. It’s a sound that perfectly suits his self-styled ethos: indie with soul, soul with heart.
This new track is is certainly designed to linger well after the last chord rings out.
