Who Is GAYLE?

17-year-old, Nashville-based GAYLE and her hit single "abcdefu" have taken the world by storm. Propelled by TikTok, the anthemic sonic middle finger has earned over 500M streams and counting, landed GAYLE her late-night television debut, and introduced us all to a cathartic, thrilling new pop star. We rang up GAYLE in the midst of her overnight success story to chat about "abcdefu," getting banned from Tinder, and if Jimmy Fallon smells nice.

In addition to chatting with us GAYLE has released her latest single, "ur just horny," another cutting pop stunner.
