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.

THE RELEASE
Up-and-coming London singer Izabel returns with a new release for the upcoming hot days.
After her latest, spring-inspired “bad boi withdrawal” (featured on BBC 1Xtra & KISS FM), the singer-songwriter continues her more breezy sound direction with the summer r&b gem “hit & run”.
The single features bossa-nova guitars & a rhythm, emitting sunny vibes, while Izabel’s honey vocals tell a story about a toxic love that’s “sweet on the surface, messy underneath”.
“hit & run” is produced by her frequent collaborator PB (“Tattoo”, “bad boi withdrawal”, “Discipline”). Their previous releases were supported by Timbaland, on Spotify’s Fresh Finds R&B, Apple’s Grown N Sexy, Amazon Music’s +44 R&B, and many more.
