Isabel LaRosa Blends Dark Alternative Romance-Pop with Rock in New Single “Muse”

WRITTEN BY CHERRYLLE URBANO

Isabel LaRosa is one of my favorite artists of this year, and I was absolutely ecstatic to hear about her latest single, “Muse,” released on October 18th. Her music has taken TikTok by storm, especially within the dark romance book community. Some of her notable songs include “i’m yours,” “eyes don’t lie,” and “older,” which each showcasing her unique style.  Her popularity continues to rise with her new release, “Muse.” 

The single opens with a spunky intro featuring edgy guitar riffs that pairs perfectly with Isabel LaRosa’s breathy vocals, creating an alluring and seductive atmosphere. My favorite part of the song, besides the guitar solo, is the chorus. When the chorus hits (and this could definitely be a unique description), it feels like I got hit by a truck and I’m the angel looking down at the scene. LaRosa is known for crafting these types of choruses that strike with a dark intensity, and “Muse” is no exception. I was beyond impressed  with the unexpected layers and emotional depth she adds in each song.

Beyond her signature choruses, Isabel LaRosa owns her musical style with her seductive lyrics and breathy voice. In “Muse,” she branches out with her sound, adding rock elements, especially prevalent in the electrifying guitar solo towards the end of the song. It was a bold move that I saw done in her previous song, “favorite,” when she added a reggaeton style to it. She’s truly showing her versatility as an artist and keeps listeners, like me, on their toes.

I’m genuinely excited to see where LaRosa takes her music next as she continues to play around with her sound. “Muse” is definitely taking place in my dark romance playlist on Spotify. I hope those who listen will immediately add it to their own playlists as well! With her captivating sound and lyrical depth, Isabel LaRosa is undeniably an artist to watch, and I can't wait to hear more of her enchanting creations!
