Encapsulating the sounds of summer, Henry Green has returned with his brand-new slice of heaven, “ISLA”, set to feature on his forthcoming album ‘Familiarity’ due to land on September 13th. Reputed for his dream-scape’s and candid lyricism, Henry Green has built a formidable support system that spans across the globe. Following on from “Sun/Shade”, the hit-maker is gearing fans up for his highly anticipated album dropping later this year.
Forming a lush-like listen that’s drenched in rich orchestral instruments [trumpet, saxophone, and strings] and laced with delicate vocals, “Isla” is an irresistible single that boasts a rejuvenated feel. Clocking in at just under four minutes long, Henry Green was able to form a seamless duality throughout the track; the soft vocals and simplistic lyrics against the swelling production that’s reminiscent of a summer’s day with friends. Steering away from his usual style, “Isla” is a step in a new creative direction for Green, emphasising his growth with each release.
Speaking on the making of the track Henry Green explained, “Isla was originally a sample based beat that naturally developed into a vocal based track. The groove was always integral to the idea, along with the vocal cuts, originally from a session I did with the wonderful Andreya Triana. I built around those elements, leaning in to more organic, live sounds.. rich layers of trumpet, sax and strings to juxtapose the more delicate keys and tuned percussion. It always felt like a slight departure from my usual style, so I did find myself questioning it regularly, shifting parts around and retracking elements until it felt natural. It definitely feels like this song could’ve taken so many different routes, but I finally settled on this arrangement. I love the way the drums feel, and I love the simplicity of the lyrics.”
Following Henry Green’s debut release in 2015, the singer-songwriter has accumulated a global following with hundreds of millions of streams, with fans extending to other highly-respected names in the genre. Kygo, Dark Sky, Max Cooper and Cyril Hahn have all remixed Green’s original works, meanwhile, Green has remixed Parra for Cuva and Mt Wolf, and collaborated with Christian Loffler and Peter Sandberg. Previously supporting house-hold names including London Grammar and Nick Mulvey on tour, as well as successfully selling out numerous headline shows, solidified Henry Green’s excellence.
Housing previous support from Clash Magazine, NME, Crack, 1883 Magazine, Wonderland, and many more, Henry Green is best known for his use of introspective and emotionally charged songwriting. Striking a resonant chord with his listeners and forging an intimate connection that transcends conventional boundaries, “Isla” is another stand-out release from the hit-maker.
With the release of his forthcoming album ‘Familiarity’ on the horizon, there will be exclusive copies on limited edition powder blue vinyl made available for purchase.
