Gallant – Interlude [Video]

Last May, Gallant made his Tonight Show debut. After Jimmy Fallon introduced the 24-year-old singer as “the next big thing in R&B,” he appeared, perched on a leather loveseat with a striped throw blanket and embroidered pillows. The stage was decked with houseplants, stacks of books atop sleek wooden side tables, a small TV set broadcasting static fuzz. In the soft glow of a handful of lamps scattered around him, he crooned the opening falsetto notes of his breakout hit “Weight in Gold.” When the chorus kicked in, he leapt from his seat, convulsing as his voice soared higher and higher. Despite the full band behind him, it felt like watching a man come unhinged alone in his living room, frantically tossing cushions and kicking invisible walls before collapsing back into his chair.
