I’ve always wanted to do a Live Medley and the 4 songs of SCENARIOS EP had so much potential live. I’m also really excited to have filmed it in my hometown.

THE RELEASE
SCENARIOS – Live follows Izabel’s 2nd EP original release in May 2024 which got support on NOTION, EARMILK & dozens of editorials across DSPs (including Apple’s New in R&B and Brown Sugar).
Originally produced by Monro (John Legend, Jhené Aiko, AMARIA BB) & TromBobby (GRAMMY-winning singer Jermaine Holmes, Brianna Castro, Kazuki Isogai), it got a full live makeover by Peyotoff (guitars), Rado Kazasov (drums), and TromBobby (synth bass). The focus track “keep” got a brighter makeover with the live instruments. While there’s still a deep/melancholic note, the guitars of Peyotoff liven up the song with their neo-soul/playful aesthetics. “keep” is about honesty & what it is to be in a difficult/toxic relationship.
SCENARIOS – Live was recorded & filmed at the beautiful historic building of the Directorate of the Mines in Pernik, Bulgaria (Izabel’s hometown).
Revolving around imaginary stories & “situationships”, SCENARIOS EP is what is going on in a young girl’s mind having to deal with sharing emotions & complicated relationships.
The Live Medley on YouTube also includes a bonus track – a cover of “Unloyal” by Summer Walker & Ari Lennox.
