Grab on to your hats and get ready for a singer songwriter producer from the land of down under, programmers! It’s Andy Gesner and the HIP Video Promo crew with a clip from Australian songstress, Isaboe. “Calling To You” is a concoction of soft rock with a nod to 80s pop that will have you air drumming to the snare stabs of an infectious chorus, and replaying the video to catch the clues of a "National Treasure" style hunt.
Isaboe was born with a musical impulse, coming from a line of musicians in the family. So composing and performing, was not by chance but a statistical inevitability. “Calling To You” is the first American single from her debut album Love Sun, which has been gaining traction on the internet for the past 18 months. To give you an idea of who is tuning in for her sound, stats on an alternative rock station show she is especially getting the thumbs up from fans of Coldplay, U2, Green Day, Foo Fighters, Chili Peppers, and Nickelback.
The record is drenched with Isaboe’s love for storytelling, which she turned to again for the creation of the video. We trek with her at a running pace through a city-by-night, chasing clues that lead her to each destination. She races from location to location, a series of landmarks around the city, finding "random" items, catching a red herring, being jolted to remember vital information that will send her onwards... all plants by an unseen person who seems privy to her past. It's a fun ride, and we get a sense of satisfaction at the end when Isaboe gets to the final prize.
The song is laced with new wave violins over delayed piano riffs and driving drums. From a keen listen to the layers in “Calling To You,” it’s easy to notice a riveting psychedelic pop quality to the track, in the manner of The Lightning Seeds or Modern English. The vocals are a big part of what hooks the listener into Isaboe’s music, but you wont find any attention-seeking wailing or ultra embellishments here. Hers is a voice that resonates with a simplicity and easiness of the likes of Dido, sometimes even with a little Sade-esque quality at times, and with the accompaniment of harmonies, creates a Mae-style indie rock sound. Laced with poetic lyrics, “Calling To You” is a catchy, progressive pop gem that shines brightly all the way from Queensland, Australia!
Isaboe is an artist who has spared no emotional expense in writing her distinctive and exciting “Calling To You.” We’ve got copies of Love Sun for giveaways and contests, which include special access for winners to two bonus remixed tracks yet to be released.
