ISY Claims Her “Gucci Baggage” With Empowering New Single + Music Video

Colorful R&B singer-songwriter and producer ISY demonstrates what it means to take what you have and make something beautiful on her new single “Gucci Baggage” out October 8. Released alongside a heartfelt music video, this track delves into the full scope of emotions experienced throughout life’s inevitable – and sometimes extreme – ups and downs. Characterized by an undeniably enticing chicness and glamour, the music video accompanying “Gucci Baggage” showcases ISY in her element as she makes appearances in a variety of gorgeous scenes throughout New York City. “The song started as a visual idea,” she says. “It’s sort of a chill acoustic deep-cut, very conversational. [She] felt the subject matter and story were important, but for [her], the video is the best thesis statement: taking what you’ve got and making it beautiful.”

Creative verses constructed from casual, yet complex, freestyles exude playfulness and create an irrefutably authentic element in ISY’s delivery. The Brooklyn-based artist relishes in the simple production of “Gucci Baggage,” using the project as an opportunity to highlight her clever lyricism and effortless melodic intricacies. ISY’s confidence and charisma manifest through creative vocal stylings throughout the track. From the depths of her soulful delivery to the decadent melismas embellishing an already beautiful melody, “Gucci Baggage” demonstrates the singer-songwriter’s substantial performance, writing, and production capabilities. In regards to the production of this track, ISY says that although “Gucci Baggage” is technically simple, it was one of the most challenging projects for her to complete. Despite minor challenges along the way, the artist undeniably struck gold with this melancholic bedroom pop anthem.

Be on the lookout for “Gucci Baggage” and the accompanying music video set to release on October 8.

Borrowing from an eclectic mix of soundscapes, ISY is a prolific writer and producer who has performed regularly from an early age. She is an interactive and high-spirited performer, delivering her creations with great care. Her sound is informed by a broad range of genres, from the lyrical innovation of hip hop/rap to iconic Motown ambiance, or rugged early grunge. Her style is marked by both lyrical originality and playfulness, and the “accessible” melodic elements of pop music. She cut her teeth regularly busking on subway platforms, and now also streams her songs and production processes on Twitch – a community she describes as very much like virtual busking.

SZA Dodges Drake Drama on Jimmy Kimmel Ahead of Grand National Tour with Kendrick Lamar

SZA is staying calm and relaxed, especially when it comes to anything involving Drake. In her recent interview with Jimmy Kimmel, the talented R&B singer quickly dismissed any talk about Drake possibly showing up at Kendrick Lamar’s upcoming concert in Toronto. With the Grand National tour approaching, Kimmel asked SZA about any worries she might have about performing in a city where Kendrick and Drake have had some tension.

SZA turned the question back to him, asking, “Are you worried?” Kimmel admitted he wasn’t, and SZA responded confidently, saying, “I wouldn’t be either. It’s going to be so fun!” Kimmel wasn’t done yet. He pushed a bit more, asking what would happen if “you know who” showed up at the concert. SZA, known for her cool demeanor, played along with a playful smile, asking, “Who knows who?” This lighthearted exchange shows that SZA isn’t interested in the drama between Kendrick and Drake. Instead, she’s focused on her upcoming co-headlining tour with Lamar and on giving her fans a great show.

Toronto is an important stop on the tour, and there will likely be ongoing rumors about whether Drake will appear, either in the audience or in some way responding to Kendrick. But SZA’s attitude makes it clear that she’s not going to engage in any of that chatter. She is dedicated to highlighting the music, her fans, and the overall experience of the tour. When SZA steps onto the stage in Toronto, she will do it on her own terms, leaving the rumors behind and letting the music take center stage.
