Isabelle Mettle's 'GOOD IN ME' moves with the kind of easy, unhurried groove that recalls the Philadelphia neo-soul lineage. With a visual nod to Jill Scott's 'A Long Walk', the North London singer, songwriter and producer wrote and produced the track herself, and that control shows in the way the arrangement breathes, with warm keys and loose-limbed rhythm giving way to pop-inflected touches before the whole thing lifts into a gospel-streaked vocal breakdown. Lyrically, it's a meditation on love that lets you exist without performance, on relationships that don't ask you to be anyone but yourself. As she puts it: "I wanted to create a track that feels like coming home to yourself through your relationships. Where you feel like you're not performing, you are just undeniably yourself." It's the first taste of her forthcoming EP CMD, out in September, and a strong case for Isabelle as a producer-artist working entirely on her own terms.
