It seems like just yesterday that Gabriella Cilmi burst onto the music scene with her debut single. But believe it or not, it's been 16 years since that iconic hit first graced our airwaves. And while time has passed, one thing remains the same – Gabriella's youthful appearance.
As she celebrated her 33rd birthday, the Australian pop singer shared a wholesome photo on social media, capturing her smiling in what appears to be a party setting. Her caption, "I'll cry if I want to," is a nod to the famous song lyric, "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to," originally sung by Lesley Gore in the 1960s.
Naturally, fans from all over the world flooded her post with well-wishes, expressing how much they miss her music. And just when we thought we couldn't love her more, Gabriella shared a throwback clip from the music video of her breakout hit, "Sanctuary." The song, which was featured on the St. Trinian's soundtrack, launched her career and is still loved by fans today.
But it's not just her music that keeps fans coming back for more. Gabriella also shares glimpses into her daily life on social media, often posting age-defying selfies that leave us all in awe. And in a recent post, she opened up about her struggles with OCD and intrusive thoughts, using her platform to raise awareness for Mental Health Awareness Week.
It's hard to believe that Gabriella has already enjoyed such a long and successful career. Three years before the release of "Sanctuary," her songs "Don't Tell Me" and "Sorry" were featured in the 2005 film Hating Alison Ashley. And since then, she's released three full-length albums and toured all around the world.
Her first album, Lessons to Be Learned, was released in 2008 and included the hit song "Sweet About Me," which reached number six on the UK Singles Chart. The song also topped the Australian ARIA Singles Chart and stayed there for five weeks. And let's not forget about her catchy cover of Connie Francis' "Warm This Winter," which was featured in a Christmas ad for the Co-Operative in 2008.
Over the years, Gabriella has collected an impressive array of accolades, including six ARIA Music Awards and a Brit Award nomination. And while she took a break from solo performances for a few years, she made a comeback in 2019 with a performance at St. Pancras New Church in London.
Now, as she celebrates another year around the sun, we can't help but reflect on the impact Gabriella has had on the music industry. And if you're a fan, we want to hear from you!
