SOFIA ISELLA, the unsettling feminist artist bringing alternative art rock into a contemporary pop landscape has released a new EP Something is a shell .. This third independently released EP marks the newest chapter in ISELLA’s canon of work, dropping after a banner year that took her from viral momentum to sold-out rooms and arena stages worldwide. The EP arrives alongside the release of a video for “The Chicken Is Naked And Afraid.” Conceptualized and directed by ISELLA the video leans into the 21 year old music prodigy’s dark humor and absurdist imagery intertwined in a montage of sensory contorting scenes.
Something is a shell . channels a visceral, unflinching vision of feminist hyper-realism, bringing listeners into a world where the horror and complexity of womanhood are laid bare. Blending her love of pop with the raw edge of industrial influences, the project moves between cool detachment and emotional detonation, often within the same song, as her vocals stretch from restrained to explosive. Across the EP, she challenges ideas of femininity and safety, confronting the normalization of violence and control while insisting that things are not okay, ultimately using her music as a vehicle to expose, interrogate, and reclaim power.
