As you enter the magic of Isabel, let yourself drift away into the urban loss of the city with its tears and narratives. Here she sneaks a peak at the future without ever running away from glistening pop music. What drew her to the sweet shores of pop music instead of the sour skies of rock? "Its heart and simplicity". Her lyrics expose her broken dreams and an unwillingness to let anyone destroy them. Although she often explores topics of melancholia the tears fall with a smile on her face. You hear this in the music she writes and produces.
Her music recalls the darker moments of the 1980's electro soundscape which lives and breathes behind every mirrorball. She also sprinkles remnants of London's 1992 rave records and provides a pop vibration of sheer sonic exhilaration. Both the EP and album contain tracks that pulsate beats which are aimed to get the body dancing, mouth singing and lips smiling.
The TV series "Heroes" is one of her influences for the new EP. Isabel explains the rather odd reference point: the songs reflect a dark deserted city, the future, superpowers and the splash of neon individuals, all dancing; some for therapy and others just because pop runs through their veins.
Isabel Guzman was born in Sweden and brought up by her Swedish mother and Bolivian father. In the last year of high school she was part of a group who modelled themselves on Blondie meets No Doubt. Despite being immediately signed to a major record company and releasing the first single, Isabel decided to go it alone for her album. It took a long time though despite the possibility of rushing into a follow-up as soon as she'd left the band. Isabel had to find the right record company. It ended up being an independent, a choice that allowed her complete freedom to do what she wanted.
Her soundtrack is of one of the morning sun coming over the city: whether or not its citizens have partied hard, dreamt sweet dreams or were ravaged by nightmares, Isabel tries to weave these together in a bid to get the heart pumping, the ecstasy coursing and the body dancing like it's never moved before. Isabel delves into the dark side of dance and pop and drenches it with throbbing neon basebeats. This is her mission. Get ready, Queen Isabel approaches…
