London-born singer-songwriter Isabelle Mettle has recently released her latest two-sided single, Dreamz, with Liverpool-based indie label Merciful Sound. At just 20 years old, Mettle’s already an emerging talent with a soulful sound and seven original tracks, including her debut Orange, released at age 15. Currently based in Liverpool, you can often catch Mettle performing live with her band, Sir Zebra.
Mettle’s dual-sided single is an exceptional assemblage of pop and alternative R&B, delving into the complexities of love, loss, and self-discovery while showcasing the artist’s talent and style. The collection begins with Dreamz, a vibrant and energetic track that takes listeners on a thrilling journey of excitement and lust. On the other hand, What You Did presents a contrasting path, maintaining a catchy beat while delving into the theme of a love that has gone awry.

“There are only two emotions that humans can really experience — love and fear. Love is so integral to the human mind… it made sense to me to put out something which walks you through the duality of love. The fun experienced whilst discovering the feeling, and the rediscovery of self afterwards.”
While Mettle typically writes and produces her own tracks, Dreamz showcases the beautiful complementary production of Jacob Weinreich. This maxi-single was further elevated by the masterful touch of Stephen Kerrison (Weird Jungle) during the mastering process. The cover art, designed by Kate Dodd, is a seamless merging of oil paint and digital art. Mettle’s music is characterised by its unique and fresh sound and genre fluidity, uniting a diverse range of listeners and as a young artist, there’s so much more in store from this talented rising star.
