Soulful East London artist Sarah Isabella makes a powerful debut with her EP "The Keeper," a seven-track exploration of grief, self-discovery, and personal empowerment. Blending alternative R&B, ambient soul, and jazz, this project marks her arrival on the UK soul scene with heartfelt storytelling and rich, healing rhythms.
Sarah Isabella, the rising star from East London, has unveiled her debut EP, "The Keeper," a seven-track masterpiece that delves deep into themes of grief, self-discovery, and personal growth. Featuring the standout single "Only You," accompanied by a striking music video, the EP showcases Sarah's unique blend of alternative R&B, ambient soul, and jazz, setting her apart as a fresh and compelling voice in the UK soul scene. "The Keeper" is a deeply personal project for Sarah, inspired by her journey through loss and the quest to reclaim her true self.
"This EP is not just a collection of songs but my honest exploration of journeying through grief, loss of self, and rewriting the narratives I had internalized," Sarah explains. "Each track is a chapter in my search for self-discovery, reclaiming my voice, and embracing growth. As someone who has long suppressed the fiery spirit within myself, this EP represents my acknowledgment that I am ‘The Keeper’ to my own greatness."
The EP opens with "Beyond the Veil," a short, nature-infused intro that sets a spiritual and reflective tone. This is followed by "Intuition," a meditative jazz-soul track inspired by the feminist book "Women Who Run with the Wolves," which introduces listeners to Sarah's process of self-discovery. The newly released "Only You" pays tribute to the comfort zone's allure, accompanied by a minimalist video that visually represents feelings of entrapment and insecurity.
"Sweet Isolation," featuring neo-soul artist Tahn Solo, delves deeper into themes of loneliness and healing with sensual production and mesmerising vocals. As the EP progresses, "Purple Skies" offers a raw confession, exploring Sarah's innermost thoughts and emotions before transitioning to "Higher Than Home," which celebrates newfound happiness and a higher state of being with its uplifting production. The EP concludes with the powerful titular track, "The Keeper," which serves as both a call to action and a plea for self-acceptance and empowerment.
With her debut EP, Sarah Isabella proves she's an artist to watch, bringing a fresh perspective to the UK soul scene.
