Kicking off another creative chapter, platinum-certified Cuban-American singer, songwriter, and producer Gigi Perez unveils a new single entitled “Chemistry,” out now via Island Records. It stands out as her first release of 2025 and paves the way for more music to come. Listen HERE.

On the track, glitchy echoes bleed into a softly strummed acoustic guitar and breathy vocals. Frenetic percussion picks up the pace as her voice teems with raw emotion. Gigi’s evocative storytelling follows the clandestine cycle of a forbidden relationship as she assures, “Don’t you know I’ll never tell a soul about our secret life. A theatrical swing underlines the final crescendo, “Poor unfortunate soul. You got yourself involved with someone you really didn’t know.

Gigi continues to make headlines. Billboard touted her among its “10 LGBTQ+ Artists to Watch in 2025, going on to predict, Perez is on the precipice of having an even bigger breakthrough in 2025.” Earlier this month, she took the stage at The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on NBC for a stunning rendition of “Sailor Song.” Of the latter, HOLLER. professed, Gigi Perez's captivating performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon consolidates her position as one of the most exciting new voices in the folk-pop genre, with the sense of anticipation continuing to sky-rocket ahead of her sophomore album. Meanwhile, TikTok featured her in the inaugural episode of its new “Behind The Breakthrough” series. Atwood Magazine welcomed her for an extensive interview and raved, “Grief is the pen Gigi Perez holds, but she wields it with grace, determination, and excitement for all to see.”

Next up, Gigi will embark on an extensive global headline tour in 2025. It marks her biggest international run yet. After performing across Germany, The UK, France, The Netherlands, and Switzerland in April 2025, she returns to North America for a show at Irving Plaza in New York, NY on April 23, visits major markets throughout the country, and rounds out this jaunt at Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles, CA on May 7.

Check out the full confirmed itinerary below. Get tickets HERE.

Last October, Gigi unveiled her buzzing single “Fable.” The track has already gathered over 60 million Spotify streams and over 3 million YouTube views on the lyric video. In its wake, NME just sat down with the rising superstar songstress for a “Breakout” interview, championing her music.

Earning further critical acclaim, Billboard touted the latest single among “Queer Jams of the Week,” going on to profess, “On ‘Fable, the singer-songwriter examines her own grief and its impact on her spirituality, as her plaintive voice pierces through the gentle strums of her acoustic guitar.” HOLLER. applauded, “Sonically, ‘Fable’ feels cut from the same cloth as ‘Sailor Song’, with Gigi Perez's distinctive vocals floating across an atmospheric and slightly melancholic acoustic guitar riff. HIVE raved, Fable is quite straightforwardly Perez’s best work. It is beautiful, horrifying, weighty.

Listen HERE.

The buzzing singer-songwriter, a New York/New Jersey native raised in West Palm Beach, Florida, made her debut on the Billboard Hot 100 with “Sailor Song. The single made its debut on the chart in August, where it has continued to climb for a total of 27 weeks and has generated over half 700 million streams. The song has also reached Top 10 on Spotify’s US and Global charts. HOLLER. proclaimed, “As she launches into the infectious hook, the composition becomes more built-out, with the introduction of a more empathic guitar riff and an additional injection of energy and vehemence into Perez's delivery. Billboard hailed it as “a stirring, emotionally raw ballad.

Back in 2021, Gigi introduced her career with “Sometimes (Backwood). It resonated with audiences, amassing over 145 million Spotify streams to date.  Balancing folk eloquence, alternative spirit, and subtle pop appeal, her lilting vocal delivery and delicate instrumentation instantly struck an even deeper chord on the 2023 EP, How to Catch a Falling Knife. Throughout 2024, she maintained her momentum with “Normalcy” and “Please Be Rude.” During the Spring, she initially shared “Sailor Song” on TikTok where it caught fire, appearing in over 100,000 videos upon release. That success translated to streaming platforms, reeling in over 700 million Spotify streams. Plus, BillboardHITS Daily Double, and more marveled at her breakthrough.

Impressively now averaging over 28 million monthly listeners on Spotify, inciting tastemaker applause, and selling out shows, it’s just the beginning for Gigi Perez.
