Isabelle Skye has blown me away with her latest single “Subaru.” This beautiful indie-pop number perfectly showcases her compelling vocals. Her voice is so unique and soulful, gentle to draw you in, then intense as “Subaru” hits its emotional climax. Make sure you listen to those incredible lyrics that tap into the vulnerability women often feel in public spaces.
“‘Subaru’ was born out of an experience I had where my safety was compromised on a walk home. This theme is so common for women and changes how we navigate life. On a day-to-day basis we alter the decisions we make so we aren’t vulnerable to people with bad intentions. I hope this song can make people feel validated in their experiences, big or small, it just shouldn’t be a reality for anyone.”
“Subaru” has already become a standout song in Isabelle’s live sets, with several punters approaching her to say how much the track resonates with them. Hopefully she’ll announce more shows sooner rather than later so more people can discover this special talent.
