What people are saying about Gigi Love
Indie-Music.com - May 2008
"Distinctive lead vocals, toe-tapping rhythm and solid songwriting on this acoustic Americana flavored material"
--Turning to Gold review--
Slug Magazine- Rebecca Vernon
Gigi Love= Lucinda Williams+ Sheryl Crow+ Gina French
Bittersweet alt-country goes down smooth as warm buttered rum, or better yet, buttered rum Lifesavers. Everything on this album is so perfectly executed and produced. My favorite tracks are “Baja Blue”, “Dali on Fire” and “Goodbye Arcata”.
--Turning to Gold review--
Gigi Love’s hook is her voice, an impossibly mellifluous warble that fairly melts one’s insides. It sets us up so the songs-can knock us down. How she does it? By singing of simple things and concepts like “Kisses” and “Destiny” and putting them in no unique or innovative context-she just captures their essences and conveys the emotion. It’s no big trick, but then it is-it’s easy to sing a song, but much more difficult to connect with a listener. This, Love does with magical aplomb.
Randy Harward-Harp Mag/SL Weekly
“Love weaves a throaty honky-tonk blues and folk sensibility from her native Texas into melodies as strong and clear as the early spring desert sunshine of her adopted Utah”
Redding Searchlight
“Love flirts with both confident force and supple vocal caresses” Red Reviews University of Utah
“Her instantly recognizable voice, soaring between tremulous soprano and sultry alto drives her breezy pop hooks home”SLC Weekly
“Marries heartfelt, at times solipsistic lyrics with familiar but sturdy acoustic guitar accompaniment and exhibits a degree of craft absent from many troubadour sets.”

Bio
Gigi Love; Bluesy, honest, storytelling songs, depicting her travels, vision quests and dreams, enrapture her audiences and take them places. If the name sounds familiar, perhaps it’s because you were among the thousands listening to her open for the Dave Matthews Band at the Columbia River Gorge, or playing for the Salt Lake 2002 Winter Olympic Closing Ceremonies.
Born and raised in Dallas, Texas, Gigi began playing the guitar and singing at age 7. At 12 years old she was performing at major venues around the state such as Johnny High's Country Music Review in Ft. Worth, Grapevine Opry and the Stephenville Opry House.
In 1995 she released her first CD, Scorpio Rising on the Yellow Moon Label in Salt Lake City, Utah. Gigi has released 3 albums since then, Coyote Bones, Turning to Gold and Cosmic Tales of the West.
After the Olympics, in 2002, Gigi was picked up by Freedom Zone, Mountain Dews promotion agency. Love toured west of the Mississippi and Texas, gaining recognition and radio play with college and community stations across the land. The winter of 2011 saw Gigi touring with Duncan Phillips, son of the late great Utah Phillips in a tribute band called Bums on the Plush. Her rendition of Utah's song "Going Away" can be heard on the Waterbug Label release, Long Gone, which is being played on Pandora.
You can hear Gigi's music on Spotify, Rhapsody, and iTunes.
Here you can find her full 4 album collection for downloads and listens.
Her new album Sweet Relief is now available on all sites!
