ABOUT THE TRACK: “WANTED” is a high-octane country-rock anthem that trades quiet acoustic moments for stadium-rock grit, massive drum pockets, and raspy, driving vocals. Co-written and produced with Matt Joyce, the track spins a reckless, cinematic narrative about a Vegas elopement that risks everything for love. The track explores the universal desire to feel chosen, valued and truly wanted by someone special. Built for open highways and rolled-down windows, the song captures the sweat and adrenaline of a live band firing on all cylinders, anchored by the grounded, authentic storytelling that Australian country fans instantly connect with. WANTED is for fans who connect with relatable lyrics wrapped in a big singalong hook.\u000f\u000fARTIST BIO: Melbourne-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Gabriel Royce (aka Gabriel Saalfield) is a fierce champion of the independent Australian music scene. After spending over a decade grinding on the touring circuit, scaling the Australian Independent Record (AIR) charts, and earning recognition at the International Songwriting Competition as one half of the beloved indie-folk duo The Royce Twins, Gabriel is now stepping into the spotlight solo.\u000f\u000f”WANTED” marks a bold evolution in his sound. While it brings his signature heartfelt songwriting to the forefront, it surrounds those lyrics with the relentless, live energy of a full country-rock band. This debut solo release honours his acoustic, grassroots beginnings while firmly planting his flag in the modern Australian country-rock landscape. It is a passionate pivot that introduces an older, grittier, and more expansive sonic identity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
