Masks” is a haunting single from Gabrielle Metz, a rising singer-songwriter that refuses to be tied to one genre. This song is an indie singer-songwriter gem that relies heavily on echoing vocals and cinematic production details to elevate the emotional lyrics. Metz is skilled at writing catchy hooks and hypnotic choruses that dive into the deep subject matter of trusting someone with what hides behind the mask you wear every day.

This lyric video for “Masks” does a stellar job of conveying both the song’s lyrics and its overall message to the viewer; it leaves you contemplating the relationships in your life and how you present yourself to others. It opens with a lone stool settled in a green grove; Metz walks into frame and sits down as the track begins. She sings along with it, looking away from the camera and back during the chorus to transition from jewel decorations surrounding her eyes to a bright red and white masquerade mask. The next verse brings a transition to black bedazzlement around Metz’ eyes. A brief instrumental solo is represented with Metz, now standing, riffing on an elegant cream colored electric guitar fashioned like an acoustic.

Metz finally takes off her mask and all facial adornment for the song’s ending, perfectly displaying the track’s themes. The simple action of Metz singing to the camera, staring deep into your soul, lets the song’s true meaning sink in. It is the ideal accompaniment to such a powerful track.

Gabrielle Metz is a name that is climbing in the country music scene. Born in Fort Payne, Alabama, home to the Country Music Group, Alabama. The charming 21 year old grew up in the small, southern city of Gadsden, Alabama. “Sweet Home Alabama” embodies this ‘girl next door’ perfectly.
