Issi – Ishayile

South African rising star Issi has dropped a new single called “Ishayile,” arriving with plenty of buzz around it. The song lands as the second track on the eight-track compilation “6lekkes ~ Rd 6.”

It also continues the build-up from releases Issi put out earlier this year. The melodies carry a warm pull, while the lyrics stay expressive from start to finish. The atmosphere here feels rich and layered, yet the delivery keeps things easy to sit with.

For anyone who has been following Issi’s run, “Ishayile” answers the wait with something steady. New listeners, however, get a clean entry point into the artist’s growing sound. The storytelling does most of the heavy lifting, so the mood settles in quickly.
