Alt-pop sensation Isabel LaRosa has just released her evocative new single, “Her Face,” via Slumbo Labs/Ministry of Sound Records. The track is a mesmerizing, cinematic dive into themes of heartbreak and identity, floating on dreamy production and intimate, breathy vocals.
Speaking on the inspiration behind the track, Isabel LaRosa shared the deeply personal sentiment that drove the songwriting:
“Her Face captures the feeling of falling in love with someone who just sees you as a replacement for someone else. It’s knowing that they would reciprocate your feelings if you weren’t yourself. Her Face comes from a place of sadness rather than anger, and a quiet knowledge that you’ll never be enough for this person.”
The new single follows the success of Isabel’s acclaimed debut album, Raven, which marked a defining moment in her evolution as both an artist and a storyteller. Co-writing every track, the record blends atmospheric production with emotionally resonant, coming-of-age songwriting.
Billboard praised the album, noting: “Annapolis singer-songwriter Isabel Larosa has been a buzzed-about name in online pop discourse for months now, and debut album Raven makes good on the promise of her early singles: with a breathy vocal delivery as a signature and a knack for choosing propulsive, alternative-leaning production, Larosa stands out in a crowded field, and should be moving upward from here.”
The album's themes—the visceral highs and devastating lows of a love that lingers—were powerfully brought to life in the accompanying Raven short film. Directed by Isabel herself and starring Shameless' Ethan Cutkosky, the film used the "Raven" as both a symbol and a memory, exploring consciousness during heartbreak—ghosted by what was and haunted by what might have been.
Isabel LaRosa is rapidly reshaping the world of alt-pop with a cinematic sound rooted in turning infatuation and heartbreak into addictive, viral anthems. The Annapolis-born singer, songwriter, and director first emerged creating a series of viral singles alongside her brother and producer, Thomas.
Her breakout moment was the Platinum-certified hit “i’m yours,” a track that catapulted her onto global charts with over 500 million streams and a rapidly growing Gen Z fanbase. With a cumulative impact of over 2 billion worldwide streams, 21.5 billion short-form video views, and nearly 300 million video streams to date, Isabel LaRosa is quickly rising as one of pop's most magnetic and compelling new voices.
