Egyptian-American indie singer-songwriter Michael Isaak releases his latest single, โhey boy.โ The song is an ode to his younger self, who he knows will get through every hurdle but is proud of who he used to be as he was resilient and developed himself as he grew up.
The production underscores the collaborative effort between Owen Korzec and Michael Isaak. โhey boyโ unfolds with shimmering guitar riffs by guitarist Declan Fine and ambient sounds of kidsโ laughter and chatter. The introductory build-up sets the stage for Isaakโs echoing voice to take center stage.
As the music progresses, Isaakโs vocals weave through anecdotal imagery of his childhood experiences, painting a vivid picture of his personal growth. Arabic music has lent him his roots to his musical identity. Meanwhile, Sufjan Stevens and Phoebe Bridgers have helped him create a contemporary and Western sound, bridging the cultures and music. The artist is a natural talent as he has self-taught himself a couple of varied instruments.
โhey boyโ serves as the final teaser for Isaakโs debut EP, โForever is a Scary Word.โ With each release, anticipation builds for the forthcoming collection.
As โhey boyโ echoes with nostalgia and self-reflection, Michael Isaak invites listeners into his journey, available everywhere and on all major platforms. He is creating a space where resilience, growth, and pride intersect. Stay tuned for the full release and immerse yourself in the soulful soundscape crafted by Michael Isaak.
