With a fusion of soul, hip-hop, and hi-hats woven throughout the song, Gabriel Jacoby’s “let’s talk about it” feels multidimensional, blending alternative R&B, blues fundamentals, and funk rhythms. Drawing from his southern roots and blues influences, Jacoby captures a rhythmic soulfulness rooted in the desire to charm someone. 

Through lyrics like “I walk around thinkin’ bout you,” “Every part of me baby knows how much I need lovin,” and “I can’t help but think baby you might be the one for me all my love is free darlin,” Jacoby captures the fascination of meeting someone so spellbinding that they take over your mind. His vocal delivery and instrumental choices emphasize grit, rawness, and allure, further amplifying the song’s emotional depth.  

The jazz-infused instrumentals and hip-hop elements blend emotional vocals with rap, evoking the alternative fusion of soul, hip-hop, and jazz that defined the late 1990s and early 2000s. Jacoby’s sound feels raw and authentic, reflecting a distinct artistic vision that seamlessly brings these influences together.
