Izzy Mahoubi announces new EP ‘How To Run’

IZZY MAHOUBI has announced her debut EP!

Titled How To Run, the upcoming EP from the Arizona-based indie singer-songwriter is her debut EP and is scheduled to be released in July this year, via Rude Records.

Speaking about the upcoming EP, Izzy says, “I wrote it as I explored my curiosity towards the world. Heartbreak, social standards, change, and pushing the limits. It’s an eclectic body of moments that I hope tells the story of growth. The feeling of walking into a childhood bedroom and seeing the old posters and letters that reveal the memories and healing that comes with time. The title track, How To Run is an expression of pushing the limits. The first time you realise your strength. The first time you start believing your voice has a space in the world. The first time you start to do the things that scare you. I believe that realisation reveals how to grow, and that confidence teaches you how to run.”

Alongside the announcement of the debut EP, IZZY MAHOUBI has released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming EP; Cool Guy.

Speaking about the new song, she says, “writing Cool Guy was one of the most effortless, cathartic, and fun experiences I’ve ever had songwriting. After a four month whirlwind of being swept into the indie music scene in Phoenix, I stood back and realised what looked so glamorous and exciting was all a facade. ‘The high life seemed so pretty’ – Once the lights are off, and the music’s over, you begin to realise all of the tough guys and cool groupies are simply just people. I don’t think I could have told this story more authentically than how I did because I simply wrote what happened.

I think anyone who listens to Cool Guy can relate to the feeling of romanticising someone or some lifestyle that promises the world even though the red flags are there from the start. Some of the lyrics in this song make fun of the indie/underground concept, more so, I’m making fun of myself for taking that whole idea so seriously. Cool is dead. Do what you want.”
