Compared to last year, Isaac’s has been visibly shifting towards a more organic, band-driven sound, championing piano, keys, poignant guitars and catchy melodies. Latest effort ‘Good Plan’ confirms it, with a sonic aesthetic reminding us of Keane, except for the guitars. In essence, the track is a really good pop number: Evan’s storytelling is relatable, transporting the listener into a love-filled scenario, aided by his perfect vocals, energetic yet reflective.
Could Evan Isaac be this year’s pop revelation? We think so! He’s been growing a lot, visibly, and a return to his roots has only played in his favour. You see, the American talent is not a newbie to the music industry, in fact, he was the frontman of a college band, GoodKids. Bandmates from the group performed in ‘Good Plan’, closing the circle between old and new and delivering material that feels authentic and timeless.
Now residing in NYC, the Pennsylvania-born artist feels more mature than ever, building on a sound that has captivated us instantly. Not just for his sonic narratives, but also for his curated, expert songwriting, resulting in a tune that could fit perfectly into a star-filled playlist. Yes, that’s how good it is.
Overall, a welcome return from Evan Isaac, who between ‘Good Plan’ and ‘Humdrum’ confirms he’s ready for the next big step.
