New single Sapphire out 28th January
UK singer-songwriters Lizzie Freeborn and Amy Woodburn are a cross generational duo who formed in 2020 to offer a musical response to raising the profile of the climate crisis. The two combine their love for cinematic arrangements, dynamic harmonies and sultry grooves to sing for life on earth.
Since their 2020 debut they have featured on BBC Introducing, Music Declares Emergency, The Conscious Festival, FATEA, Climate Live and received critical acclaim from eco and music press around the world.
ISYLA have performed for Climate Live, VOXJAM and made their London debut at the iconic Bedford venue in 2021.
Their sophomore album ‘Of Blood And Star’ is due for release in Spring 2022. In creating the album the two teamed with a live band composed of talented session players - Lukas Drinkwater on bass (Emily Barker), Evan Carson on drums (Kate Rusby), Kit Hawes on guitar (Yola, Seth Lakeman) and Rob Pemberton on keys (The Staves). ‘Of Blood And Star’ is produced by Gareth Young (Sugababes).
Lizzie and Amy have childhoods rich in sixties folk and rock, as well as classical music. Their style fuses these, often adding a jazzier groove. For fans of Lucy Marling, Florence and the Machine, Aurora and London Grammar, ISYLA’s sound transcends decades of influences, with captivating vocals and dynamic songwriting.
Their latest single “Sapphire” was inspired by the Our Other Mother campaign.
