The Swedish/Turkish musician orchestrates an incredible single, from dance and beats to lyrics

The music industry can be largely summed up by its trade description. Most songs are often lost in the humdrum of product over art, and sales of over sound.

On her new single Favour, Izza Gara is draws a firm line, calling out desk monkeys and their attitudes towards marketing women within the scene.

Favours Is a Gentle Song with Bite

Gara has history within the arts and this, refreshingly, plays into her music. Favours is a track housed within the electronic genre, styled to perfection, thanks to seasoning from her soft R&B vocals — a canvas of quality she will not compromise on.

This fresh single takes aim at executives and the misogyny in an industry “still largely dominated by powerful men,” — an inherent blemish within the craft.

Her light flow is a provision to the discourse, helping form a strong narrative that effortlessly blends lyrics atop its composition. The production sways in tandem with Gara’s voice through an intimate and insight-imparting lens — one that highlights an important conversation.

Verdict

Its music and lyrics offer a new point of view, bringing the world Izza shares into focus. The issues she faces are seldom ventilated, yet she expertly diffuses tension in order to open up the conversation.

What’s more is the production. Created by the artist herself, she further enhances her message, one delivered with clarity and impact.
