Bad Gyal
Alba Farelo (born c.1997), better known as Bad Gyal, is a Spanish and Catalan singer and producer.
Born c. 1997[1] she was brought up in Vilassar de Mar, Spain, the daughter of voice actor, Alberto Farelo.[2] While attending university and working at a call centre, she released "Pai" in April 2016, which was her version of "Work" by Rihanna, adapting the lyrics to a mixture of Catalan, Spanish and English [3] It was a viral sucess on Youtube, and was picked up by local radio, which led to the creation of a mix tape Slow Wine with producer Pablo Martínez, aka FakeGuido. Fact Magazine named one of its songs, "Jacaranda" as their number 1 single of 2017.[4] She has performed at several festivals in Iceland and Japan, as well as Red Bull Music Academy Festival in Los Angeles, and Sónar[5] in Spain[4][6]. Her next album, World Wide Angel was produced by UK producer Jam City, Dubbel Dutch, DJ Florentino and Spanish musician El Guincho [7] [4][8][9], and included the songs (and later released music videos) "Candela", "Nicest Cocky"[10] and "Blink".[11] Bad Gyal is signed with the production company Canada Editorial. [12]
Her style has been described by others as both reggaeton, and dancehall; [13] The Guardian has described her music as "stew of reggaeton, dancehall and melancholic electronics – sung in a mixture of Catalan, Spanish and English".[3]
