Following his 2019 release GEMINI, Tay Iwar continues to lean further into his distinct blend of otherworldly melodies as he refreshes his intriguing blend of Afropop and R&B. His sophomore solo project, Love & Isolation, is full of vulnerable moments. Over the course of five tracks, he releases a pantheon of loverboy anguish with help from Aṣa, Xenia Manasseh and more. Familiar emotions and situations are probed for their contradictions, flaws and tensions, and finding strength and love, even in the midst of isolation. From pushing through tough times in love on “STONES” to searching for peace of mind on “YOGA,” Tay Iwar tells poignant stories of love as one who has lived through it and walked away scathed by its intensity.
