“This is more than an EP. This is the moment I stopped asking for permission to be seen. For the first time in my career, I know exactly who I am. I’ve found my sound, my confidence, my fire. The parts of myself I used to hide are now the loudest thing in the room and I’m done apologizing for them. These four tracks are an invitation. To dance harder. To take up space. To be fearless, unapologetic, and completely yourself.
This is for every girl who’s ever doubted her power. Every girl who’s been told she’s “too much.” Good. Be more. Own your energy. Own your voice. Own the room. We’re not waiting for our moment anymore. We’re creating it. Welcome to my new era.”

THE RELEASE

Aug 5th - type she EP
London-based Bulgarian-born singer-songwriter izabalien (FKA Izabel) steps into a fearless new chapter with her forthcoming EP, type she – a bold reintroduction that marks both a sonic and personal transformation.
Izabalien returns with a renewed artistic vision, trading introspection for confidence and embracing a sound rooted in infectious pop melodies, contemporary R&B, and Latin-inspired rhythms. Across four tracks, type she pairs punchy, forward-thinking production with unapologetic lyricism, celebrating self-worth, femininity, and the freedom to take up space without compromise. Complemented by striking, high-energy visuals, the EP captures an artist fully stepping into her own identity.
The project arrives on the heels of a standout performance at ESNS 2026, with a series of London live shows set to be announced in the coming months, signaling the beginning of an exciting new phase in izabalien’s career.
“mr. bby boi”
The third (and her boldest) single from the forthcoming type she EP. Marking the next chapter in her artistic evolution, the track fully embraces her unapologetic, main-character energy. Punchy, playful, and irresistibly flirty, “mr. bby boi” pairs sleek pop and R&B-infused vocals with infectious reggaeton-inspired rhythms and Latin-leaning production, delivering her most confident and addictive release to date.
“camera”
A confident, flirt-driven pop-r&b anthem about long-distance attraction, online intimacy, and being completely irresistible. Glossy, playful, and addictive with a modern digital romance vibe.
“bblgum”
Delivers exactly that energy with a trappy R&B instrumental & commanding Rihanna-esque confidence that marks her artistic evolution.
