Alt-pop sensation and PLATINUM recording artist Isabel LaRosa released her debut album, Raven via Slumbo Labs/RCA Records. Alongside the release, the official music video for “Burning,” and a visualizer for “Hope It Hurts” are also out now. The videos were directed by LaRosa and stars her and Ethan Cutkosky.
Raven is a reflection of LaRosa’s raw vulnerability and evolving artistry, with the singer-songwriter co-writing every track. Marking a long-awaited milestone in LaRosa’s career and serving as a powerful statement after her rapid rise in the music industry, the album balances infectious, hypnotic bangers with emotionally raw introspection, filtering her personal experiences into a sound that’s as addictive as it is transfixing.
On the record, LaRosa collaborated with some of the industry's most celebrated songwriters and producers, including OJIVOLTA, Ian Kirkpatrick, Noonie, Linus, Monsters & Strangerz, and Delacey. Raven also features previously released chart-topping singles such as “Cry For You,” “Home,” “Favorite,” “Muse,” and “Pretty Boy,” which have amassed over 2 billion career streams to date. In addition to the fan favorite tracks, the highly anticipated songs, “Burning” and “Good Girl” will also be included on the album as well as “Girl Of Your Dreams” which is features a reimagined sample of the classic, “You Don’t Own Me,” originally recorded by Lesley Gore. Additionally, LaRosa collaborated with recent GRAMMY®award winning songwriter, Amy Allen for “Piece of My Life.”
Of the record, LaRosa previously shared “The album title Raven represents something deeply personal to me, I've been obsessed with ravens and crows since I was little. There’s also a sports team from my hometown in Maryland called the Ravens, so in many ways they represent where I grew up. Raven to me feels like it captures the feeling of the album, which is dark and moody, while still maintaining a personal and emotional aspect. It feels like a perfect representation of me.”
From the exhilarating euphoria of “Good Girl” to the emotional heartbreak in “Cry For You,” LaRosa paints an intimate portrait of love, loss, and self-discovery. The album opens with an electrifying energy that captures the thrill of youth, but as it progresses, the lyrics evolve into deeper reflections on betrayal, distance, and the complexities of growing up. Tracks like “Hope It Hurts” and “Home” explore themes of change and the emotional journey of finding oneself in uncertain times, with the final track “Burning,” illustrating Isabel coming around to sadness and acceptance and growth. Raven serves as a declaration of who Isabel LaRosa is as an artist, and a glimpse into the future of alt-pop.
The new music adds to LaRosa’s skyrocketing career, in which her headlining “Psychopomp Tour” kicked off in San Diego, with additional major stops in Nashville, Boston, Los Angeles, etc. Additionally, she recently wrapped her New Zealand and Australia tours. Plus, she recently performed at major festival Lollapalooza India and is set to grace the stage at Governor’s Ball and Lollapalooza this June and a run of festivals in Europe this summer.

About Isabel LaRosa:
With 2B worldwide streams, 21.5B short-form video streams, and close to 300M video streams thus far, Isabel LaRosa is quickly ascending to the upper echelons of modern pop. Named one of Spotify’s “Pop Rising’s Artists to Watch in 2024,” the Annapolis, MD-based singer-songwriter boasts a unique ability to turn coming-of-age stories about infatuation and heartbreak into addictive hits for a new generation. LaRosa earned viral attention with a series of singles – written and produced in collaboration with her brother, Thomas – including her RIAA Platinum-certified 2022 breakthrough hit, “i’m yours,” which lit up charts around the world. The following year saw the release of LaRosa’s debut EP, You Fear the God That Loves You. Chosen as one of only six artists for TikTok’s inaugural Elevate program and featured at TikTok in the Mix, a sold-out concert event streamed live on TikTok to more than 10M viewers worldwide, LaRosa – who also is deeply involved in the direction and creation of her theatrical, dark-pop visual approach – continued her ascent in 2024 with the sold-out God’s Watching tour and the bilingual hit single, “favorite,” which earned over 80K creations and over 400M views from user-generated content across social media platforms prior to its official release. Hailed by Ones To Watch as “a superstar befit for the digital age,” LaRosa has received critical applause to match her increasing popular success, including such outlets as Billboard, LADYGUNN, EARMILK, NME, and more.
