Isaia Huron, the genre-blending artist known for his soulful R&B and hip-hop fusion, has shared his highly anticipated new single, “CIRCLE,” via SLANG Music. This marks his first release in over a year, continuing his innovative musical journey.
“CIRCLE” showcases Isaia’s signature sound, with his evocative vocals soaring over a dynamic production that shifts between melancholic keys and intense bass and drums. The track is complemented by a striking music video directed by Caleb Ward, which enhances the song’s emotive impact. Despite its title, “CIRCLE” concludes abruptly, a deliberate choice that hints at the experimental direction of Isaia’s upcoming project set for release this summer.
Isaia Huron’s musical roots trace back to his upbringing in Greenville, SC, where he spent his formative years in church, influenced by his pastor father and choir-leading mother. This foundation has shaped his artistic compass, guiding him through his evolution as a musician. The pandemic catalyzed his deep dive into music, leading to a period of prolific experimentation and creation.
Following his 2023 release “LIBBIE 02,” a reimagining of his 2020 debut EP “Libbie,” Isaia continues to push boundaries with “CIRCLE.” The new single builds on the stripped-down beats and lush, layered vocals of “LIBBIE 02,” staying true to his theme of creating music for lovers, heartbreakers, and the heartbroken.
