It's been an exciting and very moving ride with Izabel - and her debut release with us, SCENARIOS EP is out today.

The 4-song project is produced by Monro (worked with names like John Legend, Masego) and our dear TromBobby. Sonically, SCENARIOS EP encapsulates Izabel’s delicate, yet solid approach towards r&b, with lush vocal runs and smooth & punchy production. Revolving around imaginary stories & “situationships”, Izabel shares what is going on in a young girl’s mind having to deal with sharing emotions & complicated relationships.

The closing & focus track "keep" encapsulates the smoothest & deepest side of r&b, with dark/melancholic notes, punchy beatwork & intimate storytelling - about honesty & what it is to be in a difficult/toxic relationship.

She shares, ”The idea behind the EP represents different imaginary situationships between someone and me, or my girlfriends telling me stories about what is going on in their love life lately and I think a lot of people can relate. I mean, we live at times where people don’t care about how you actually feel, majority of them are afraid to really show love and sympathy because these are signs of vulnerability, and people don’t like to be seen as “weak”, at least this is my observation. However, me and my bf are actually really cool, that’s why I have to make-up “Scenarios” to keep it interesting or represent in front of my girlies. The only track that represents our relationship is the intro, which I decided to name “Take 7” because it took me 7 takes to do it right, lol.”
