Caveboy synth player and bassist Isabelle Banos has announced her debut solo EP under the moniker Ballsy — news shared alongside new single "Person."
The self-produced collection Bisou will be released independently on April 5, and includes previously released singles "Joe Millionaire," "Holy Water" and "Be Your Baby."
"This is my favourite song from the EP — it’s the most emo," Banos explained in a statement about the track, co-written with Lùisa. "It’s both an intimate conversation and an anthemic scream session, which makes it so much fun to perform live. I hope it brings listeners some catharsis and healing if they need it."
She continued, "I did all the recording, production, and mixing myself at my studio space, Chez Ballsy. I worked on and off on this song for almost two years until I finally cracked the code! I blasted the speakers and immediately started crying the happiest tears."
