Singer-songwriter Rae Isla has just released her new album New Frontier. The focus track, “Jesus Was A Woman,” has a deep story behind it. “This song is for my mother Mimi, grandmother Jean, and great great-great-grandmother Carrie. I feel us all in the room when I sing it," Isla says about it.
“Sometimes change is dramatic and sometimes it’s silent. The end of a relationship, a period of grief, a necessary fertile void before the start of some grand new adventure."
“The idea of the ‘New Frontier’ is nothing new at all. History shows us continually searching for what is still untouched—virginal—to stake our claim. We are remembered for what we discover. But what if discovering were a journey inward not outward? What if legacy meant staying exactly where you are and re-discovering yourself?
Well, the best critics are those who are guilty of what they criticize, and I am guilty. I’ve never stayed in one place for long. I keep searching for my New Frontier.”
Rae Isla began her journey as an independent musician in Brooklyn, NY, collaborating on early releases with producers Gianluca Buccellati (Lana Del Rey, Arlo Parks) and Garrett Eaton (Holly Miranda).
