Hey y'all,
So recently over the summer I stumbled across a new R&B/Soul and Jazz artist with an angelic voice over incredibly dope beats. She goes by the name of Alex Isley & I just had to share with you guys because this girl is too amazing to continue to go unnoticed. I don't think I've ever heard anything like her voice, and she has truly created a sound all her own. Check out more about her below...
~ALEX ISLEY~
The UCLA graduate has
devoted her time to music, growing up around it, performing it and studying it
as an Ethnomusicology and Jazz Studies major at UCLA. She has even performed in
Jazz Reggae Fest, UCLA’s annual spring concert and music festival. Not
surprisingly, she comes from long legacy of music legends being that her father
and uncles together form one the greatest music groups of all time, the Isley
Brothers. She, too, hopes to follow in their footsteps and make great strides
in the music industry as a talented and innovative R&B and Jazz artist.
Wanting to create a
sound and genre all her own, Isley describes her music style as R&B, with
jazz and folk elements. Not for your typical ‘cuffing season’ playlist, this
woman’s music embodies all that it means to truly love. All her songs about the
concept of love, meaning being in love, losing it, and wanting it, which are
all aspects that come with the ever changing emotion. It is not to be confused
with today’s modern standard of the ‘typical love song’ and is truly
reminiscent of classic soul and R&B music. Through her music, you can
literally hear the emotion and experience pouring through your speakers or
headphones. If I were to imagine one of the many things that would allow love
to be described as a sound, her music would be one of them. Her music would be
what love sounds like.
All songs are written and produced by Isley herself with remnants of every decade found in her sound going as far back as the 50's while still leaping all the way forward to today. Gifted with the perfect pitch, she creates smooth melodic tones, signing of real life experience surrounding love, life, & heartbreak all in clever reflective storytelling of past occurrences. As of this year she has two EPs, The Love/Art Memoirs & Dreams In Analog (both of which are available here: http://www.audiomack.com/artist/alex-isley)
If you ask me her music is truly a work of art that not only speaks to, but somehow caresses the soul. I have posted some tracks from both EPs below to give you a taste of her music, as well as a few sites to find out more info about her and her music. Be sure to check her out, comment, let me know what you think, share and, as always, ENJOY!
