Isa Marina Pays Homage To Sisterhood In Her New Single 'Down'

New York-based vocalist ISA MARINA has released her latest single, "DOWN" today. "DOWN" is a moving piece of dancehall that celebrates female unity and self-love. The track opens with steel drums and quickly explodes with infectious electronic production from DropOuts. The song was co-written by Isa and Chandra Rhyme. As the strong bass and shakers get your head moving, Isa comes in with an undeniably catchy hook. On this track, Isa demonstrates her vocal prowess as a force to be reckoned with.

Isa on "Down": "I wanted to create a positive song that celebrated women. That celebrates us on our worst days and our best days, because all of us are so beautiful: dressed up, dressed down, of all backgrounds, origins, shades, and sizes. Leading our lives by society's beauty standards will only leave us empty in the long run; we need to follow the beat of our own drums and celebrate ourselves in whichever way we see fit. This song was written to uplift and spread love."
