The Queen is back! After a two-year absence from the music scene, Izzy is finally releasing her much-anticipated new album. The release of this album has been highly anticipated since 2018 when she released her last LP, and now we can finally rejoice!
The new Grammy-winning album, The Queen Returns, features some of music’s biggest names. Izzy has collaborated with Drake, Future, Lil Wayne, and more to create an incredibly unique mashup of old and new hip-hop and R&B. This album, which was produced by Grammy-winning producers, such as Timbaland, The Neptunes, and No I.D., is sure to make waves.
The album’s lead single, “Party Hard”, features Drake and Future as they explore the uplifting yet seductive sound of mainstream trap music. With its infectious hook provided by a sample of a classic 1970s soul track, this song will definitely get your body moving. On the other hand, Izzy showcases her singing chops on the neo-soul banger “Comin’ Up”. She slows things down with this easy-listening groove as she reflects on her journey and the difficulties she’s faced on her way to success.
The Queen Returns also features some of the most essential hip-hop classics of all time, remixed and sampled with updated production. The album opener, “Takin’ It Back”, is Izzy’s take on the classic Wu-Tang Clan track, sampling iconic lines from the song and adding her own verses to it.
The album also pays homage to music from the ’80s and ’90s, with “Roll With Me”, a modern take on classic New Jack Swing. She also pays tribute to her roots with the Latin-infused hip-hop ballad “Bailando”.
Izzy has definitely outdone herself with this album, as she has created beautiful music and showcased her vocal and production abilities. She also brought together some of the biggest names in music today, making it a must-listen for any fan of hip-hop and R&B. The Queen Returns is out now and available on all major streaming services, so make sure to add it to your collection!
