Izzi Stone's new single, "Hey Hey," is a breath of fresh air that effortlessly links two eras. An elegant mix of smooth jazz and indie pop experimentation with a soulful and nostalgic vibe, the track is the perfect listen for anybody looking for a song with soul, depth, and recollections.
Once again, breaking through boundaries, Izzi Stone has outdone herself with this single. "Hey Hey" is a gorgeous throwback with a sprinkle of contemporary that takes you to another era while never distancing itself from the right now. The single has a unique, almost cinematic feel, with the smooth jazz inflections flowing seamlessly with the modern sounds of today, which makes for a sound that is both nostalgic and current at the same time.
With the opening note, the song takes you from a quiet, sophisticated mood to a world where the past and future coexist. And Stone's individual sound is at its most catchy but still in its purest form. It's a catchy song, and the layers of sound make for some nice depth, encouraging listening again.
Classic jazz fans will be comforted by the familiar sounds in the track, whilst new listeners will find familiarity with the modern twist that the sound is given to keep the track feeling relevant and new. It is that aspect of music, the formula that Izzi Stone has so gracefully mastered retro with an edge, that attracts all kinds of audiences, reigniting old souls who miss the forever classy days of quality music to the younglings looking for something completely different than what they might find nowadays in the world of sound.
At a time when so many artists pander to trends, Izzi Stone keeps it honest and consistent with her vision. The music that emerges is from her and her alone. "Hey Hey" is further evidence of this, proof of her talent for reinventing the familiar and nudging you to expect the unexpected, all while making music that just feels cool.
