Isabelle Gitlin Opens Up About Doubt With A Ton Of Soul in Her New Single “It Still”

Let’s talk about that moment in a song—you know, the one where your ears perk up, your shoulders relax, and you realize you’ve stumbled onto something special. That’s exactly what happens when you press play on Isabelle Gitlin’s new single, It Still.

Hailing from Boston, Isabelle isn’t a name that pops up on the Top 40—yet—but she’s been carving out her own sonic lane with precision, intention, and a whole lot of soul. Whether she’s tucked away in the studio writing, recording, or sketching out visual concepts, Gitlin is clearly an artist deep in her element. And with It Still, she pulls listeners into that space with ease.

At its core, the song is a quiet confrontation. The lyrics lean into the feeling of unresolved thoughts—the seed of doubt that stays rooted in the back of your mind, even when everything on the surface looks fine. It’s introspective without being self-pitying, and Gitlin has the finesse to make it feel intimate rather than indulgent.

The production matches the emotional shift of the lyrics beautifully. The track opens soft and slow, drawing you in with sparse instrumentation and stacked harmonies that hover like a gentle fog. Isabelle’s vocals? Absolutely magnetic. There's something in her tone—raw, controlled, and unflinchingly honest—that makes you stop what you're doing and listen.

And just when you think you’ve settled into a quiet reflection, the drums drop. It’s subtle at first, then hits with full force, launching the track into an upbeat, soulful groove that’s impossible not to move to. It’s not just a tempo change—it’s a transformation, a turning point in the story. From doubt to determination. From static to soul.

The craftsmanship in It Still is undeniable. Every vocal layer feels placed with purpose, every lyric considered. Gitlin isn’t just making music—she’s sculpting it. You can hear the hours spent refining harmonies, experimenting with textures, and making sure that every element hits just right.

It’s no surprise that she cites a wide range of genres and artists as inspiration—her sound is equal parts classic and fresh, drawing from what’s come before while confidently adding her own voice to the mix. And if this track is any indication, the full body of work she’s quietly building in the background is going to be something worth waiting for.

For now, It Still stands tall on its own—a shimmering, soulful moment of musical clarity from an artist who’s just getting started.
