hit & run

London-based singer Izabel is back with something scorching, perfect for those July days.

Her latest "hit & run", produced by PB ("bad boi withdrawal", "Discipline"), takes a step back from the deep side of r&b and towards the sunny coasts of South America. Alongside her honey vocals, you're enveloped with bossa nova rhythms & Latin guitars that feel like a warm rain on your skin.

Albeit the laidback vibes, thematically, the song explores a topic Izabel often sings about - toxic love & relationships. She elaborates, "This one’s about that kind of love that feels good in the moment but messes with your head after. It’s like, you know they’re no good for you, but something keeps pulling you back. The beat feels super summery and chill, but the story’s kinda toxic — sweet on the surface, messy underneath."
