Isabel Neib

There is hardly no time of Isabel Neib’s life that hasn’t consisted of music. It’s as if she was chosen by music, and not the other way around. Already as a child she sang at weddings and funerals, and it wasn’t long before she started to identify herself as a songwriter. With a burning passion and endless ambition, she went from being a touring musician, and collaborating with the likes of Supersci, Iiris Viljanen and Jonathan Johansson, to pursuing a solo career.

’I Already Know’ her debutalbum was released November 24 through Isabel Neib’s own record label Hatago Records. ’I Already Know’ is the product of being true to yourself and going your own way, at any cost. Because nothing comes for free.

Together with the album’s co-producer Michelle Amkoff (Carly Rae Jepsen, Amason), Isabel Neib describes a creative and playful creation process for the songs. Analog synths, spontaneous little details, everything has been allowed to take place. ”Not even what was recorded by chance remains there by chance,” she says. Perhaps that’s why the bittersweet melancholy of I Had You By My Side feels particularly searing.
