Her latest offering and debut solo album, Peace Within - executively produced by her husband Reubin David Layman, showcases her versatility and skill that many have come to respect her for as an artist.

 

She says, “Working without my sisters was challenging at first, but my confidence grew. I relied on them a lot in the past, but without them my independent creative side kicked in.”

The lead single Heaven is a fusion of R&B/Funk and Hip-hop, youthful but yet inspirational.

 

“I worked with the inspirational Allou April and different session musicians” Abigail adds. He younger sister Deborah Gomez features with some laidback rhymes, giving it some “street” edge. Making it a track most likely to appeal to the young and old.

The afro-jazz, soulful Speak to Me showcases Abigail’s talent and skill as an accomplished artist. This song is a plea to God to speak to us (a humble prayer from a vessel ready to be used. )“In music I find a space in which I can be myself, feeling content and happy within” says Abigail.

 

Talking about the album, “I hope it appeals to everyone. I was exposed to a wide range of music while growing up and this comes through my music. I would like to think that the album is not classical or modern, but timeless.”
