Spaniard-British artist Isabel steps confidently into the spotlight with her debut EP, "It Is That Deep", a five-track offering that is intimate yet expansive. The single "All the Lies" is leading the charge, and it declares her presence with both poise and precision. Kicking off the EP, its stabs of velvety vocal texture, humming over a classic hip-hop break, offer just a taste of Isabel's undeniable brand flagship. This hybrid sound naturally fuses quiet confidence and gritty emotional storytelling.
Yet at the tender age of 24, Isabel establishes herself not only as a singer-songwriter but also as an adept producer, crafting paint-roller soundscapes to match her stark lyrics. "All The Lies" is as much a statement of artistry as it is a personal declaration, an aggressively magnetic entrance that cannot be turned away from.
The momentum of the EP doesn't let up on "Delusional," co-produced with TSB (Dave, J Hus), where past heartbreak turns into sprightly empowerment. Its infectious spirit makes self-assuredness an anthem, evidence of Isabel's ability to turn openness into power. Then there's "Petty," an embracing of her sassy side if ever there was one, as she tops a melodic clap-back to doubt with the sharp wit and confident flair that belie her age. Every track feels painstakingly constructed, yet free-flowing, a conversation you can't immobilize.
"It Is That Deep" is a full-throated announcement of Isabel's voice in what has become an increasingly crowded musical landscape. She shows that emotional depth and innovation need not be at odds, welcoming us into a universe where openness, bravura, and melody work together. With "All The Lies" as her'd calling card, Isabel has amply announced herself as a new artist to watch and listen to, on repeat.
