Isabel Maria, an emerging artist from Sunderland, England, continues to solidify her place in the music scene with her latest release, “At Least We Don’t Have Kids.” This sour-yet-sweet ballad offers a raw and candid take on relationships, wrapped in Isabel’s signature lush harmonies and dynamic synths. Following her milestone track “Holy Smokes!”, this new single marks another step forward in Isabel’s evolving sound.
"At Least We Don’t Have Kids" is a five-minute journey of emotional highs and lows, with Isabel’s piano-driven melodies anchoring the track. The song was born in a rapid two-hour burst of creativity, as Isabel recalls, “I had a lot to say and not a lot of time to do it.” The result is a deeply reflective piece about shared responsibility in tough situations and finding that sarcastic silver lining in the middle of it all.
Produced by Josh Ingledew at Blank Studios, the song features Isabel's powerful vocals intertwined with carefully crafted synths and beats, expanding from a simple piano demo into a rich, atmospheric soundscape. It’s one of her most ambitious works to date, displaying her ability to blend vulnerability with a large, cinematic production.
Isabel’s storytelling is witty and honest, finding a way to strike a chord with listeners who can relate to the complexities of modern relationships. As her second single funded by the Alan Hull Award, the track is part of a trilogy of releases planned for the year, with “At Least We Don’t Have Kids” releasing just in time to close out the summer.
Drawing comparisons to Olivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift, Isabel Maria’s music retains a distinctive individuality. Her catchy hooks and thoughtful lyrics resonate deeply with her audience, making her a standout voice in today’s alt-pop scene.
