Boston-based singer-songwriter Isabelle Gitlin opens a new chapter in her burgeoning career with the release of her single “Long & Gone”. Blending elements of pop, country, and soft rock, the track offers a beautiful exploration of unreciprocated love and the heartache of losing someone you never truly had.
The song’s foundation lies in Isabelle’s reflective creative process, beginning with melodies on the piano. “It’s very therapeutic for me”, she shares. “I always start off by playing melodies on the piano and then adding more parts and pieces.” The lyrics, steeped in vulnerability, took shape through a close collaboration with her friend Talitha, who helped deepen the emotional narrative.
“Long & Gone” encapsulates the pain of navigating a loss without clear blame. Isabelle reflects, “It’s difficult to sit in that pain, especially when there’s nobody to hold accountable. It can feel isolating, like there’s something wrong with you, but it’s just a hard situation.” Her ability to convey such raw emotions creates a song that resonates deeply with anyone who has faced similar struggles.
Drawing inspiration from artists like SZA, Mariah Carey, and Miley Cyrus, Isabelle weaves introspection into the lush instrumentation of “Long & Gone”. The song’s heartfelt tone and polished production strike a balance between modernity and timelessness.
