Gabriel Audee Is Building His Own Frequency In New Single 'DICHOTOMY (The Chosen Ones)'

Gabriel Audee is building his own frequency, and ‘DICHOTOMY (The Chosen Ones)’ feels like the clearest signal yet. Blending indie-pop textures with trap-inflected rhythm and cinematic layering, the NYC-based artist delivers a record that feels both emotionally expansive and sonically meticulous.

The production, originally sparked by JRum, is immediately immersive. Rather than leaving the instrumental intact, Audee treats it like a living structure — expanding it with sweeping synth pads, textured acoustic percussion, and electric guitar lines that shimmer in and out like distant radio transmissions. The result is a soundscape that feels in constant motion.

What elevates the track further is its collaborative DNA. Saule Ilona Vaida’s vocal presence on the hook is soft but commanding, giving the song its emotional anchor point. In contrast, Lil Dee’s rap section injects urgency and edge, co-written with a clear sense of rhythmic intent that cuts through the haze of the production.

Thematically, ‘DICHOTOMY’ leans into ideas of awareness, perception, and waking up from societal fog — but it avoids preachiness by grounding itself in atmosphere rather than exposition. There’s a cinematic quality here, like scenes unfolding rather than messages being delivered.

It’s no surprise early listeners have drawn parallels to the more expansive corners of pop production — there’s a sense of scale here that feels built for both headphones and festival stages. But what makes Gabriel Audee interesting isn’t just ambition; it’s the way he turns that ambition into something emotionally tactile.
