Overview
- Gabriel released the Bright‑Side mix of “One By One” on July 29, 2026 as the eighth full‑moon single from his forthcoming album o\i.
- The track runs close to ten minutes and is presented as an extended story-song that Gabriel says functions as a centerpiece and will sit late in his planned live show.
- Gabriel revived his recurring Mozo character to tell a narrative of being torn apart and reassembled and used the Japanese kintsugi idea of repair with gold as the song’s guiding metaphor.
- Canadian sculptor David Altmejd supplied the cover art titled Pieces and described his break-and-rebuild sculptural process as echoing the song’s themes.
- The released Bright‑Side mix was mixed by Mark “Spike” Stent and Gabriel confirmed a Dark‑Side mix will be issued on the next new moon as part of his moon‑cadenced, multi‑mix release plan.
