Brooklyn-based indie soul/rock band (i am) isis has released the single, “Take It Back“, in advance of the release of their EP Since Forever. “Take It Back” is a raw, uptempo track featuring the band’s signature driving guitars and empowering lyrics, telling listeners to “make their own way” and take control of one’s love, life and self-worth.
Frontwoman isis has released several singles over the past few years, with and without the full band, which were eventually culled into an ad-hoc EP, amazingly random. Since Forever will be the debut collective effort from the group, set for release this fall.
(i am) isis currently consists of bassist Mike Koltosky, drummer Manny Mav, guitarist Diamond Dave, and keyboardist Isaac Childs who bring isis’ crazy, color-filled melodies to life on stage.
“I kept pushing the date back to concentrate on creating music from scratch with the guys, instead of just giving them my music to play,” said isis. “Now, there are five of us, with our own personalities who bring five distinct flavors to this experience. The best part of creating is having all of our sounds and technical abilities marry into this sonic stew.”
The band’s sound is considered an eclectic fusion of rock and spoken soul, with a bluesy funk for the new millennium. isis, herself, has been described as “an edgy and fresh brand of soulful truth”, who is both haunting and mesmerizing. The band’s live shows have been characterized as an energetic explosion of power and grace.
“(i am) isis has her own gravitational pull,” said Jay Marcello of Dream Hygh Entertainment. “As a consultant and promoter, all sorts of music comes across my desk. (i am) isis, however, is one of the few who I actually remember and have in rotation in my iPod.”
“Take It Back” is now available for streaming on SoundCloud at https://soundcloud.com/iamisis/take-it-back. It will be available for purchase on all major digital outlets, including iTunes, Amazon and Spotify, on Friday, August 1.
