Isaiah Mclaughlin drops debut album

Hailing from Colorado Springs, Isaiah Mclaughlin is an electronic pop musician who takes influence from legendary artists such as Prince and Michael Jackson. Blending an array of fluttering synth-based instrumentation, he creates ethereal dream pop soundscapes that transport you to another world.

Making his introduction in 2019 with his debut single “Venom” followed up by his sophomore track “Cannibal”, Isaiah Mclaughlin has proved himself a prolific artist, dropping five EPs over the last two years. Characterised by grooving beats and kaleidoscopic electronic arrangements, he crafts a sound that’s both original and immersive, driven by his spaced-out vocal leads carrying poignant and meaningful lyricism.

Now he brings us his most ambitious release to date with his debut album titled Paradise. Featuring thirteen original tracks, the new record showcases the artist’s expansive creative vision and talent for delivering a unique style that’s entirely his own.

Wrapping up the production process for the album in December of last year, Isaiah wrote, laid down vocals, recorded and produced each track completely by himself, a feat that serves to demonstrate his all round sonic skill and ability to bring his compositions to fruition without the imprint of others.

With the lead single, “As a Parent”, the artist drew inspiration from the Michael Jackson hit “Do You Know Where Your Children Are?”. Hoping to shed light on child abuse, Isaiah brings attention to the fact that so many children grow up with abusive parents by laying down his own spin on the challenging topic with the song. Closing the record with the title track “Paradise”, Isaiah Mclaughlin offers an innovative and mesmeric cut that rounds off a stunning and worthy debut album.
