Multicultural Kānaka Maoli singer songwriter, Isabeau Waia'u Walker, from Hawaii announces
release of 2nd LP Heavyweight out October 24th, as well as single release schedule. Currently
based in Portland, OR but from Wailuku, Maui, she is a firm believer in the power of stories
shared through song and aims to address the mind and heart in everything she creates. Her
voice, her lyrics, her melodies and harmonies are both raw and refined, intimate yet relatable,
memorable and haunting.
Heavyweight | Heavyweight is personal; the soundtrack for a heavy heart shored up with
gratitude and tenderness. It is a gentle hand over yours, a head resting lightly on your shoulder,
a mutual scream into the abyss. Isabeau writes to satisfy an internal tension. Her music is Bright
Gloom, joy adjacent songs and stories from The Land of Broken and Demented Toys. Recorded
by Ryan Oxford at The Center for Sound, Light, and Color in Portland, Oregon, Heavyweight
owns up to flaws, admits to confusion and confesses failure but it is not a surrender. In contrast
to her previous LP, Body, these songs are her individual bout with love, sacrifice and loss. It is
the wily smile and bruised cheekbone still standing in the next round; the bottoming out and a
heartfelt, heartfull return. Heavyweight marks the first time Isabeau has recorded a project with a band, with her band of weird and talented brothers. Having the whole gang present throughout
the process made room for real time collaboration. Her songs found their most mature form in
her band community. Ryan and Isabeau have carved out a new groove in their artistic alliance
and their friendship hosts a safe space to orchestrate songs as they mean to be. She is a lyric
forward songwriter with stories reminding that while the worst has happened it didn’t take you
out...if anything, it emboldened your heart, your love, your resolve. You are now sharper while
more tender. Heavyweight is personal, but for all who have met grief. Heavyweight is hers, but
also yours. These songs can hold your weight. “Take your heaviness / and give it back to the
earth’s own weight / the mountains are heavy, the oceans are heavy.” - Rainer Maria Rilke, from
The Poetry of Rilke, Sonnets to Orpheus.
