For this latest effort ‘In Love Again’ Izzy has teamed up with Golden Plates to release a track that very much channels Joy Division, with an overall sound that can be described as grungy and atmospheric. Izzy has been experimenting with different sounds after making a splash with the four-track EP entitled ‘Dream’, which dropped in 2019.
A driving deep bass line is the nucleus of this song, combined with punchy drums, accompanying guitars, and synths to create a very solid post-punk-inspired sound. The vocals are drenched in some heavy, grungy effects, giving the track a really haunting feel. Combining this with the raw feel of the instrumental mix, the listener is treated to a real head-nodding banger.
These aforementioned effects give the lyrics a harder edge to them. Speaking about new love, the vocalist is expressing his reluctance to fully commit after finding himself having fallen in love again, stating: “Please can you help me / I’ve fallen in love again / I wanted to be free”. A statement of reluctance that juxtaposes with our perception of falling in love. Usually a feeling synonymous with happiness and glee, this statement turns this idea on its head.
Featuring a strong mix, including some well-produced instrumental effects, this latest release fits comfortably into this artist's impressive catalogue.
