Essential: Isabelle is a fifteen year old soulful singer and songwriter who has been supported by Introducing in The South since 2017. This songstress takes inspiration from the likes of Nina Simone, A Tribe Called Quest and Tina Turner, which has shaped her rich and mature sound. 'Places' follows the release of Isabelle's debut mixtape 'Only Having A Laugh' - which was written and recorded when she was just twelve! Isabelle says the track is about "somewhere that you don't have to pretend to be someone you're not; where you are loved and accepted, and can be who you want to be."
