there really is a comforting timbre to
Ian Isiah's sweet falsetto, which chimes over mid-tempo snares and slow-grooving keys on "Loose Truth," a track off his forthcoming Chromeo-produced EP,
Auntie. The truth referred to by the title is the tenacity of Isiah's community. The song is serious about them, and particularly to key workers; a corresponding music video, released last week, honors both, with visuals of people in and out of scrubs embracing, laughing, dancing, and hanging out on stoops. Community chatter book-ends the lyrics, like a choir to Isiah's testament: It's a tender proclamation of the power of family member in a pandemic, gospel for a heavy heart. —
