Acclaimed Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Gal Musette unveils a gorgeously introspective new chapter with her latest single, the stunning indie folk ballad “Broken Clock,” a delicate sonic embrace woven from blissful harmonies and gentle acoustic rhythms that serves as a poignant preview of her upcoming third album, Our Day in the Sun. The track, which marks a significant moment of quiet rebellion and a profound coming-into-self for the artist, finds its emotional core in an old adage.
Gal shares, “‘Even a broken clock is right twice a day’ is an old saying that caught my attention when an old boyfriend called me ‘blind.’ I thought then—even with my blind spots, I knew my gut was right in leaving that relationship behind.” This raw, unfiltered vulnerability transforms into a remarkable strength throughout the song, embodying the album’s overarching theme of shedding the need to please and embracing the hard-won wisdom found in endings and the unraveling of old ideals.
Known for her delicate and introspective sound, Gal Musette is an artist who has honed her craft on stages around the world, touring with revered acts like The Magnetic Fields, Gaby Moreno, and Donavon Frankenreiter, while also forging collaborations with luminaries such as Rufus Wainwright and Aaron Marsh of Copeland, who composed the lush string and woodwind arrangement for one of the most poignant tracks on the upcoming album. In recent years, her expansive musical journey has also included touring and recording with artists like Vacations, Jazzie Young, and Georgia Gets By of Broods, as well as releasing music with her trio Tin Angel, a trajectory that has earned her consistent acclaim from the likes of NPR, KCRW, Consequence, The Line of Best Fit, and LADYGUNN. This seasoned experience converges beautifully in “Broken Clock,” where her refined artistry meets a newly empowered voice.
The upcoming album, Our Day in the Sun, is positioned as an intimate ode to personal transformation, and this single is its perfect ambassador—a testament to the quiet confidence that comes from trusting one’s own intuition, even when others doubt it, proving that sometimes the most powerful statements are made not with a shout, but with a softly sung harmony and the unwavering strum of an acoustic guitar, a gentle yet firm declaration of self-trust.
