Named one of Spotify’s “Pop Rising Artists to Watch in 2024,” Isabel LaRosa is rapidly rising
within modern alternative pop, transforming coming-of-age stories of infatuation and
heartbreak into impossible-to-ignore hits for a new generation. With over 3.5B global
streams, 21.5B short-form video views, and over 500M video streams, she first gained
traction through a series of singles written and produced in collaboration with her brother
Thomas, including her 2022 RIAA Platinum-certified breakout “i’m yours,” before releasing
her debut EP You Fear the God That Loves You, the following year.
LaRosa, who also is deeply involved in the direction and creation of her theatrical, dark-
pop visual approach, continued her momentum in 2024 with her sold-out God’s Watching
tour and the bilingual fan favorite single “favorite,” which generated over 400M views on
social media prior to its official release. A TikTok Elevate artist and a critical standout
praised by outlets like Billboard, NME, and LADYGUNN, she recently celebrated one year of
her debut widely acclaimed album Raven, a reflection of her raw vulnerability and evolving
artistry, with the singer-songwriter co-writing every track. Gearing up to release her new EP,
Promising Young Woman in June, LaRosa also just finished up as direct support on
Madison Beer’s Locket Tour.
Promising Young Woman, draws from twisted wonderland imagery to explore feelings of
self-imposed expectations, tension between beauty and suffocation, and the fine lines
being blurred between real and performance—capturing the disorienting realization of
losing yourself in the pursuit of perfection and the unsettling realization that you no longer
know who you are without it.
