King Isis releases grunge filled new single Dissonance

June 27, 2024

King Isis releases new single Dissonance. The grunge filled track produced by frequent collaborator and childhood friend, Jaden Wiggins. King Isis comments, “’Dissonance’ is a song about embracing the differences that make us whole, that make us who we are. It leans into the ‘other,’ a celebration of the pieces of selves that we may feel adverse to or are socially rejected. I’ve spent a lot of time trying to conform and present in ways that were outside of myself to appease the perceptions of others.

It’s embracing the tension and uneasiness in self and communal discovery, just loving yourself fully and those around you who embrace that difference.” Check out the new song/video here: Dissonance follows the release of the breakout EP shed which was released in March by the Oakland born King Isis. About shed: heavily inspired by Gloria E. Anzaldúa’s seminal text Borderlands/La Frontera and its examination of snakes as a metaphor and theme of purging. King Isis was [Read More]
