Like the tide, some endings are meant to be carried away. Gabi Hartmann's Roll By is a tender collaboration with Melissa Mary Ahern that finds beauty in surrender rather than struggle. Floating between folk, jazz, and understated pop textures, the song creates an intimate atmosphere where every note feels patient and intentional. Both voices complement one another with remarkable restraint, allowing silence and space to become just as expressive as the lyrics themselves. Inspired by the rhythm of ocean waves, "Roll By" reflects on accepting what cannot be changed while discovering unexpected resilience in moving forward. Hartmann adds:

It speaks of surrendering to what cannot be changed and allowing life to move forward naturally, just as the waves endlessly roll across the sea.

Presented alongside an acoustic live performance, the release also extends the world of La Femme Aux Yeux De Sel (Le long Voyage), Gabi Hartmann's expanded album featuring eight additional tracks. The record continues the story of Salinda, whose emotional and spiritual journey unfolds across themes of innocence, loss, healing, and renewal through Hartmann's signature blend of multilingual storytelling and genre-crossing arrangements. Hartmann continues to expand a musical universe where vulnerability and imagination exist in equal measure. Set aside a quiet moment for "Roll By," then explore La Femme Aux Yeux De Sel (Le Long Voyage) to experience the full scope of Gabi Hartmann's evolving artistic vision.
