As more people tend to neglect subtle emotions in a fast-paced environment, Isaac Koshy is here to make you step back and feel every note of his indie pop ballad, "Feel My Love." Coming from the belly of the Mumbai streets, Koshy is a lone ranger of an artist with a love for chronicling stories, and this release only attests that he's swaying it with soul, sensibilities, and sincerity.
Koshy's singing is a raw, refined rasp that soars over blooming layers of acoustic instrumentation and dreamy indie-pop textures. His delivery is a low-key strength that might resonate with those who have tiptoed around their feelings before plunging headfirst into love. The setup is minimal, underscoring but never overwhelming. A handful of guitar strums here and a melodic turn create emotional weight for the storytelling.
"Feel My Love" is an incredible story that weaves an intriguing tale of falling from infatuation to being in love. There's a tender openness, a hesitancy that mirrors opening one's heart. But as the track develops over time, it blooms into a confident declaration of love and captures the relationship-altering progression of a feeling in a manner that feels authentic or familiar.
Taking cues from the greats, Billy Joel, Eric Clapton, and Queen, Koshy taps into that timeless melodic energy even as he brings a modern, alt-pop edge to the music. "Feel My Love" combines old and new, warm recollections that aren't afraid to open the window for a breath of new air. "Feel My Love" is a personal statement from an artist who has developed his music into an emotional language. Isaac Koshy doesn't so much write songs as constructing aural spaces in which people can see themselves, their hopes, and their heartaches reflected.
